Maintaining your Moodle profile
Before beginning work on your first Moodle course you should update your Moodle Profile.
This is the same for all of your Moodle courses, so you only need to do this once, or if any details need to be changed at a later date.
- Click on the Profile link in the Administration block on the left
OR
- Click on your name at thetop right of the window or the bottome of the window.
- On the summary of your profile, click on the Edit Profile button.
There are a number of important settings in your profile that you should check:
- Names
- First name
- Surname
- Email address
- Make sure that this is correct so that you will receive course messages
- Note that if you change your e-mail address you will be sent an e-mail at the new address with a link to confirm that the address is correct. Until you confirm this you will not be able to login to Moodle courses.
If you enter an inaccurate e-mal address you can cancel the pending change in your Edit Profile page.
- Email display
- Choose who can see your email address for security
- Email activated

- Other information is optional
- Picture
- You are recommended to upload a digital photograph of yourself which will appear on your course postings.
- When you have finished editing theprofile, click on Update profile.
