Identity Avatar [Training Mode]

Identity Avatar [Training Mode]


Each identity has an image that shows next to its name on all posts and comments created with it. Think of it as your identity’s profile picture. Your teacher may assign you to create a special image or to find one that is copyright safe (Creative Commons). Once you’ve selected an image, save it to your computer, click Choose file, and select the image from the location where you have it saved. You can also drag and drop the image onto the identity avatar area to upload. If you you’re struggling to find an image, check out the resources for copyright-safe images (and a video for how to find them and give proper citations) in the MySciLife Resource Library. You can also draw one and take a picture of it or take an actual picture out in the real world (no copyright concerns there!), log in to MySciLife on a mobile phone, and upload your image that way.
