Below are steps to add a profile photo to your account in Moodle, which is uploaded separately from your user profile photo in SIS. Further below are steps to auto-upload into SIS/Moodle using Gravatar.
Manual upload in Moodle:
To add a profile photo, enter your Moodle profile, click "Edit profile", scroll down to "User picture" and click in the box for "New picture" to select a photo.
Step 1: In the upper-right of Moodle, click on your account and select "Profile" from the drop-down menu.
Step 2: Click on "Edit profile" at the top of the "User details" section.
Step 3: Scroll down to the section for "User picture". To add a photo, click the box to the right of "New picture", and then click "Choose file" at the top under "Attachment".
Final steps: Click "Upload this file" after you chose a file, and click "Update profile" at the bottom of the page.
Extra info:
In the "Picture description" box you can write any text, which will be shown when users hover over your user picture in your profile, and will be shown if the picture can't be displayed due to a technical issue.
Only one photo can be added, so if you want to add a different photo then click on the file you uploaded in "New picture" and select "Delete". If you already have a user picture in Moodle, this will be shown to the right of "Current picture", with a checkbox to "Delete picture" if you want.
Other info:
The "Interests" section is further below the "User picture" section, and this allows you to describe any personal or professional interests.
Here you can write any text in the box that says "Enter tags..." After writing the interest, it will be added when you press the "Enter" key, or you click anywhere on the page. You can write multiple interests. This will be shown in the "User details" section of your Moodle profile.
Auto-upload with Gravatar:
When you follow the steps to manually upload, you'll see this message:
Gravatar has been enabled for this site. If you don't upload a profile picture Moodle will attempt to load a profile picture for you from Gravatar.
OUM integrates with Gravatar for profile pictures, so consider setting up a free account there to use with your OUM email address. This will populate your profile picture in SIS and Moodle
Step 1: Visit gravatar.com and click "Sign Up" in the upper-right
Step 2: Enter your OUM email address, receive the "Confirm Signup" email, click "Continue to Gravatar".
Step 3: To setup your avatar, click "Upload image" or "Use camera".
Step 4 and more: The photo you upload is in the "Avatar" section of "My profile". Other photos can be uploaded in the "Photos" section.
In the "About" section you can write your name, other info in the 'About me" section, and more.
In the "Verified accounts" section, you can connect to other accounts, but OUM is already integrated with gravatar.
In the "Contact info" section, you can add other accounts and your public calendar link.
