Update Your Moodle Profile

Your Moodle profile shares biographical and contact information with other Moodle users. Please follow the instructions below to add new information or update the existing information in your profile.

Instructions

  1. Log into Moodle.
  2. In the top right corner of the screen, click the down arrow to the right of your name and profile picture.
  3. Choose Profile. 
  4. In the User details box, choose Edit profile. 
  5. Scroll down to see the information you can edit. Sections with a red exclamation mark must have information in them.
    1. First Name/Last Name: This is the name that will appear in Moodle. It is automatically populated and cannot be changed.
    2. Email address: By default, this is set to your MLC account. This is the address that will be used for all notifications within Moodle. It is suggested that you leave the email address set to your MLC address, but it is possible to set it to some other preferred email address. 
    3. Email display: By default, this is set to Allow only other course members to see my email address. This means that others in your courses can see your email address, but Moodle users outside of your courses cannot. It is suggested that you do not change this option.
    4. City/town and Country: Please update to indicate your geographical location.
    5. Timezone: Please leave this set to Server timezone (American/Chicago).
    6. Description: You can fill in a short description of your position at your school, congregation, or place of work. It does not need to be a long description, as courses will have an introductory activity to share more about yourself.
    7. User picture: If not already expanded, click the words to expand this section.
      1. If you do not already have a picture displayed, locate an ID-type picture of yourself (not a picture of your family, pet, logo, etc.) on your computer. It must be in a JPG or PNG format. 
      2. Next to New picture, either drag and drop the picture into the upload box, or click the Add button in the upper left corner of the upload box to add a new picture.
