You can also add your personal photo, which will appear in all your contributions to discussion areas, user groups, etc.

Note for LDAP, Shibboleth, or CAS users: Users who utilize the directory service (LDAP, Shibboleth, or CAS) to log in to the platform cannot make changes to their profile. These changes must be made in consultation with the directory service administrator of their institution.
Change email address
It should be noted that on the first time someone enters the platform, he is prompted by the system to confirm his/her e-mail address. The platform sends an e-mail message to the address he/she has registered and asks to follow a link to confirm. If for some reason the user changes his/her email address, then the platform displays a message that prompts users to advance the process of email address confirmation.
The email confirmation form prompts the user to “Send confirmation code”. The user will then receive a message at this address and should follow the link in the message body in order to complete the process (similar process as in the first entry in the platform).
Delete an Account
You can delete your account from the platform if you choose the “Unregister User” link. However, you first need to delete all the eCourses you are supporting/registered to and then click on the “Unregister User” link on the top of the screen. You will be asked to confirm this before your account has been deleted.
