Moodle Tutorial - Setting the Profile

Directions to Set a User's Profile in Moodle  (works for all accounts)

1. Log into the virtual classroom. http://moodle.lamission.edu
2. Locate your name in the top right hand corner and click on it.  
   • Example:  You are logged in as: "your name"
3. Click on the Edit Profile tab
4. Here are the default settings:
   • Email display only allow other course members to see your email address.
   • Email activated: this email address is enabled. (this is important so you can get messages from the instructor)
   • Email format: Pretty HTML format
   • Email Digest Type: if you do not want to receive an email every tme a student posts to the forums, then change this to complete (daily emails with full posts) - this will ensure you get just one email a day with a summary of all of the posts to the forums by students for that day.
   • Forum Auto-subscribe: No, don't automatically subscribe me to forums (if you turn this on you will get an email every time any student posts to any of the forums. You probably don't want hundreds of emails)
   • Forum Tracking: Yes, highlight new posts for me
   • Screen reader: No (unless you are visually impaired and using a special screen reader software.)

5. City/Town: You can change this from the default setting to any city you want by erasing what is in the box and entering new information.
6. Profile Description box: You can enter information about yourself here but do not enter phone number or street address or other personal information which would jeopardize your safety. Just type information into the box or you can leave it all blank.  
7. Optional items include your picture (please upload the smallest possible file) and your contact information. Your student ID number has been uploaded so it will print on the grade report for your instructor. Your student ID and your phone number can not be viewed by other students. That information can only be viewed by the instructor.
