Task: Follow the guidance below to start you on your learning journey.

Response:

1. Start by watching the video: Moodle.org (2018) What is Moodle? This should provide some context for you as you explore our Moodle course.

2. Then watch the ‘Configure your Profile’ video (4m58s) and apply what you have learned as you edit your Moodle profile.

- Cick on the arrow next to your name in the top right-hand corner of your screen. Then choose 'Profile' and complete the required information, making sure to SAVE.
- Note that your Moodle profile:

      - is server-wide (not course specific), so make your description / bio general for your work rather than specific to a particular module or course.
      - should include an uploaded photograph or avatar - this will assist in establishing your online presence.
