Did you know you now have the ability to add your profile picture in Canvas as well as link an image to your UMW email address?
In Canvas: 1) Go to your Profile page> select Files > select the Profile Picture folder > upload a pic of your choice
2) Return to Profile > click on the empty avatar box next to your name > select the picture you just uploaded
OR to link a “Gravatar” image to your UMW profile which shows up in Canvas as well as other UMW sites, follow the directions here: http://technology.umw.edu/wordpress101/2011/10/12/personalize-your-people-search-get-a-gravatar/
Also in this weekend’s Canvas updates, the ability to Customize the list of courses appearing in your navigation drop-down was added so you can now select which courses you’d like to show and hide the others. A feature many of you requested! Watch the screencast for directions and other information on the latest release notes: http://help.instructure.com/entries/20650906-11-12-11-release-screencast
Additionally, quiz performance issues in Internet Explorer were improved and the problem of downloading files with different filenames than the original has been fixed.
