Tips and Tricks
- Your photo is seen in multiple places within Canvas.
- You cannot edit your name in your profile in Canvas as it will be pushed from your WINGS account. You will need to update your name in use in WINGS.
- The only way students see your Biography is if they click your profile photo in an announcement or discussion. You may want to make a page in each of your courses instead.
