Updating Your Moodle Profile

Personalizing your Moodle profile gives your students a better sense of who you are as a person - details like photos, background, interests, and hobbies help humanize you. This fosters stronger student-instructor connections.

You can communicate the your teaching style and personality, giving your students clues about the tone and style of communication you use in class, setting accurate expectations.

Share your expertise and credentials! A robust profile allows you to showcase credentials, educational background, prior experience, awards, and other bonafides. This establishes and strengthens your credibility. Be sure to include your contact details, office hours, preferred communication methods and typical response times.

Personalizing your Moodle profile supports instructor accessibility and approachability - personalized details like an informal tone, quote, or fun facts make you more relatable, friendly, and accessible as a mentor.
