Instructor bio

[jferone]

I've completed my instructor bio but when I go in "student view", I don't see anywhere for student to access my bio. How do students view instructor bio?

This is an easy one.

Click on "People" in the Course Navigation Bar. Then click on your name. You and your students should see your Profile Biography there.

I agree with @SusanNiemeyer here.  I'll just add that in order for your students to use the "People" page, you'd need to make sure that the "People" page is enabled in your course.  Not all instructors prefer to have "People" enabled (for a variety of reasons).  Your "People" page may have the crossed-out eye icon next to it (making it hidden to students).  If this is the case, you can enable it by following the directions in this Guide:

Hope this extra bit of information will be of help to you.

Thanks for the info. I was able to enable the People feature and get it to work. It does seem odd that you have to enable everyone's info in order to see the instructor bio and they have to go into People, click on your name,  and then find your bio. Not to mention they then realize that their name is there, and may click on that instead to see what's shared about them. Seems much better if you go to a course and see the instructor and are able to just click on bio. Seems like a no-brainer, hope that happens in the future.

Thank you everyone for the responses!
