Moodle Tutorials: Editing Your Moodle Profile
Editing Your Moodle Profile
Editing Your Moodle Profile
Everyone at Pacific has a personal profile page in Moodle. This page allows you to post your picture, a personal statement, and other information you would like your peers, students, or classmates to see. It is visible to all other participants in each course your are enrolled in.
Adding a profile picture
1. In the upper right-hand corner click on Your Name, Profile.
2. Go to the User details block. Click on Edit Profile.
3. Scroll to the section labeled User picture.
Click the Add button, (it looks like a piece of paper with a ‘plus’ sign). This will take you to "file picker" where you can upload a file or you can drag and drop a photo from your computer. NOTE: The picture must be in JPG or PNG format. Moodle will crop the image to a 100x100 pixel square. Your Moodle upload limit applies.
4. Once selected, click Update profile at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: Refresh your browser if the profile image hasn't changed.
