Profile
The Profile tool allows users to upload a picture and provide a variety of information that students can access through the Classlist. It is recommended to at least fill in the contact information and add a picture.
Students will be able to see the profile photo uploaded both in the Classlist and next to all instructor posts in Discussions. Students can access the full profile by selecting the profile picture in the Classlist, and instructors can select student pictures to view their profiles.
