Moodle Resources

2. View and Edit Your User Profile

2.1. General Settings

  1. Your name and email address are tied to the registration system and can't be changed by you in Moodle. If you need something updated, please contact the COS Office at cos@gbhem.org.
  2. Email display – The default setting is “Visible to course participants.” Click on the down arrow to open the drop-down menu for other options. Note: Hiding your email address does not prevent Moodle from sending you emails; it prevents other Moodle users from seeing your email address.
  3. City/town – Type the name of the city or town in which you live. Add the state postal code abbreviation.
  4. Country – The country will already be selected. You can update it if necessary.
  5. Time zone – The default time zone is Eastern Time. You may change this to your own time zone. Setting the time zone will convert time-related messages (such as assignment deadlines) from Eastern Time to the time in the zone you select. The timezone options are listed by Country/City.
    • Eastern time – use America/New York
    • Central time – use America/Chicago, or America/Indiana/Indianapolis if you live in Indiana
    • Mountain time – use America/Denver, or America/Phoenix if you live in Arizona
    • Pacific time – use America/Los Angeles
    • Alaska – use America/Anchorage
    • Hawaii – use Pacific/Honolulu
    • International – use a country/city combination close to your location
  6. Description – This is the heart of your profile.
    • Please write a brief (about 100 words) informative description or biographical sketch that helps others in your course(s) get to know you as we build an online learning community. This will display on your profile page and be visible to everyone in your course(s).
    • The text editor works much like a word processing program with options for formatting text.
    • Click on the icon at the top left corner of the text editor toolbar to expand it and display more tools. Click on that icon again to hide the additional tools.
    • You can copy text from elsewhere and paste it into the text editor if you are writing offline.
    • Click on the question mark icon to view a tip or in-context help in a pop-up box.
