A fair amount of the work for this course will take place on our course webpage. To get started, you should have received an email inviting you to sign up for the website. This is a separate login from your normal campus login. If you haven’t received one, try using this link to reset your password (use your college email address). If you still don’t receive the invitation that way (or the reset tells you your account doesn’t exist), email me and I’ll set you up manually.
Next, click here to access your profile settings.
Add your name, and set your nickname to display what you’d like people to call you. Next, find or take a picture you’d like to use as an Avatar. It can be a picture of you, or an image or icon you’d like to use to represent yourself.
Scroll down to the very bottom of your profile page, past the first, false opportunity to add a profile photo, to the section that looks like this except with no picture:
Click “Choose from Media Library”, then “Select Files.” Find the image file you’d like to use, click “open,” then in the lower right click “Select Avatar and Crop.” Crop your image as you’d like it to appear, then click “crop.” You should now see it set as your Avatar.
Finally, click the “Update Profile” button at the bottom of the page. Now you’re ready to participate in the weekly forum!
