Updating "My Profile" (Moodle)

My Profile is divided into blocks that include: "User details", "Miscellaneous", "Reports" and "Login activity".  By updating your Moodle profile preferences you can set how you receive forum posts, choose how you communicate with other students on course related topics, upload a graphic or picture, etc.
