User Profiles


Other than guests, each user has a profile that contains information about him or her. We will first deal with the information that is stored for each user and how it is organized in Moodle.

You can view or change your profile by clicking on your name, which is usually found in the header or footer of your system. Select the Edit profile tab to view the most commonly used fields. To see all fields, select the Show Advanced button. The button will then toggle to Hide Advanced.
