Your Profile
Who are you ... who, who, who, who?
By editing your profile, you can specify your name, display name, personal pronouns, how people may contact you, as well as change your password. Adding a bio to your profile is a great way for students and colleagues to get to know you better. Your Bio is also a great place to list your office location and a contact phone number.
If you want to be contacted via a registered web service like Skype or Twitter, just add it to your Ways to Contact Me. Do you have a favorite blog or your own website that you'd like to share, add it to the Links section of your Bio. On the Settings page of your profile, you can also add a picture of yourself or upload your favorite avatar photo. For those that may be a little shy, keep in mind that adding a profile picture is an important step in helping students feel connected to you as their instructor.
