NOTES:
Your profile helps you, your fellow learners, and the faculty to get to know each other better.
If you don’t have available or don’t wish to use a photograph of yourself on your computer, you may upload a picture of a pet, a flower, or any image that you feel is representative of you.
If your image is not square, it will be cropped to a square, and the image might not be recognizable. We can help with that. Just email the image to Learn@WilmetteInstitute.org, along with your name and the name of your course. Our staff will adjust the image and uplaod it for you.
There are fields to add optional information such as skype numbers, websites, hobbies, and so on.
Most of the information on your profile page is optional. If you do not understand the options, or if they don’t apply to you (for example the address of a personal website, if you don’t have one), ignore them. You can also hide some of your personal information if you want.
