Your User Settings and Profile

Whenever you post to a Discussion or send an Announcement your message or post will feature your profile picture. It is helpful to have a picture there so students easily recognize what messages are coming from you versus what messages are coming from classmates.

To add a profile picture:

  1. Click Account (on the left) and choose Profile.
  2. Click the gray place holder profile picture (or your existing picture if you want to change it) to invoke a pop-up window where you can add your picture.
  3.  Click the Upload a Picture tab.
  4. Drag a picture onto the popup window or click choose a picture to select a picture from your computer.
  5. Use the circle tool to select a specific part of the picture (if necessary).
  6. Click Save to update your profile picture.

Watch the following video to see this process demonstrated.
