Students can see information about themselves and edit some of
it by using links in their administration block.
Your Profile
The profile contains information about you. Other users on
Moodle can see your profile if they click on your name. Profile
information includes the description of yourself (if you have
entered one) your name, location, email address (if you chose to
make it accessible) and the list of courses you are enrolled on.
When you view your profile you can edit it by clicking on the
'edit' tab. In your profile you can add a picture of yourself (or
anything else you like). This image will appear next to your name
in forum messages etc.
Updating your Profile
In your profile you can also update information such as your
location or email address and you can see your activity (so can
your teacher).
Please update your profile if you change your email address, as
this will enable you to receive updates or information sent out via
Moodle. If you choose to automatically subscribe to forums, you
will receive email copies of all new messages in forums you
participate in. Forum tracking is useful to use as well, as it will
let you quickly identify new messages in forums.
There are several settings that are accessible from your profile
that will help make your use of Moodle more productive.
Email format: You can choose to have emails sent from Moodle in
Plain text format or Pretty HTML format. HTML format will include
images and the Moodle colour scheme in emails, but will be slightly
larger in size.
Forum auto-subscribe: If you select yes for this it will mean
that when you post a message to a forum, you will be subscribed to
that forum and receive email copies of all messages for that forum.
You may unsubscribe from forums if you wish as well.
Email digest type: You may choose to receive all emails from
Moodle in one daily message. There is also the option to receive
either the complete message or just the Subjects from forums you
subscribe to.
Forum tracking: This is a useful option to enable. If it is
enabled on your Moodle site it will highlight unread forum messages
so you can easily see what is new.
Gradebook
in your administration block links to the gradebook.
Activities
The activities block shows the student all the activities
available in a course.
Using text entry
Creating a message or adding text to Moodle is usually through a
text entry area.
