"My profile" F.A.Q.s
How do I change the information in my profile?
In the Administration Block, go to "My profile settings" and then click "Edit profile". The "Edit profile” page has five areas: "General”, "User picture”, "Additional names", "Interests”, and "Optional”.
The most important field to review under the "General” area is your email address (Moodle will use this for all email notifications). In this section, you may also change your Username, Password, and Name.
"User picture" allows you to change your profile picture. To change your profile picture, either drag and drop the file from your desktop or file directory into the box (if supported by your browser), or click the icon in the top left of the corner of the box to bring up the Moodle "File picker". Choose the file that you would like to upload using the "File picker" and then click "Upload this file".
The "Additional names", "Interests", and "Optional" sections contain additional information fields that you may choose to complete to share more information about yourself with other Learn.YA.org users. These sections include fields such as "Alternate name", "Web page", "Phone", "Mobile phone", and "Address".
Remember to always click "Update Profile" after you are done editing, to make sure your changes are saved.
Storing files on Moodle for personal use
Each Moodle user has their own personal file storage area known as "Private files". To access your "Private files", expand the "My profile" list in the Navigation bar and then click on "My private files". This will bring up an area in which you can upload files using the "File picker" as well as view previously uploaded files.
