Canvas Account: Settings
WorldClassRoom provides each user with an account area that can be configured as desired through the Profile and Settings links. Click Account in the Global Navigation. Your name and logout button will appear at the top of the menu while Profile, Settings, and Notifications will appear in the lower portion.
Note: Email or mobile numbers that are added to a profile are never revealed to other people in Canvas.
In the user Settings tab, you have the ability to change or add the following:
-
Profile picture - This will be the same as found in the Settings. A dialog box will appear to upload a new picture.
-
Full/Display/Sortable Name: Instructors and students cannot change the way their name appears in WorldClassRoom but you can add preferred pronouns.
-
Time Zone - We ask that you do NOT change the time zone as it may affect the submission times of your assignments. Our system runs on Central Time. Canvas will show you the difference between your time zone and the one where your professor may be so there is no issue with understanding submission time.
-
Ways to Contact - This information is ONLY for the system to send you Notifications(covered in the next tab). No one else will have access to this information.
- Email address - The default address is your Webster email. All private messages in WorldClassRoom are routed through the Webster email via your notifications but they ARE NOT THE SAME. You may add another address if you wish by clicking on the "Add Email Address" button.
- Other contact info : You may add a cell phone number to receive push notifications if you wish by clicking on the "Add Contact Method" button
