Avatar/Profile Picture

You can easily create an avatar/upload a profile picture.

To make your Blackboard site more personal, or to help "put a face to a name" in an online course, you can upload an avatar (profile picture) that will display by your name in Blackboard.

To do so, follow the steps below:

• 1. Access Blackboard

  2. From your Home tab, select Personal Information (left hand side)

  3. Choose Personalize My Settings

  4. Check the box next to Use Custom Avatar Image

  5. Click on the Browse My Computer button

  6. Find/select the image file

  7. Click Submit once finished

Please note that the recommended pixel size is 150x150. Larger images should be clipped or they will appear distorted.
