Updating your Canvas profile is a great way to let people know who you are, especially at the beginning of the year. To edit your profile, open your Canvas Dashboard (see instructions above) and click Account > Profile > Edit Profile.
Then, you can add a fun biography in the appropriate text box and/or change your profile picture but clicking on the profile image and uploading a new one. Once you click Save Profile to save, when you post a comment in a Canvas discussion section, your classmates and/or teachers can click on your name to view your profile.
