Title: Profile and Notifications in Canvas
Course: Open EIC225 Programmable Controllers

Once you have had a chance to click around Canvas a little and explore your course you may want to edit your own profile and set up your notifications.  To do that look up in the right hand corner of the screen.  You should see your name, Inbox, then Profile.  Click on Profile.

The second section in the Canvas Student Guide will walk you through how to set up your profile and especially your notifications.  Canvas allows you to choose how often and for what reasons information will be sent outside of the course.  Sometimes it is easier to remember you have an online course when you receive an email or text whenever there is a change or update in the course, however it is entirely up to you to set that up.  You can choose to receive no notifications of course activity (in which case you still need to remember to check into your course several times a week) or you can ask to be notified in many places about everything or you can choose some level of notifications in between those extremes.  To get to the notifications area click on "Profile" and then on "Notifications" in the left hand navigation menu.  Go here for specific directions:  Canvas Student Guide, Notifications
