  • City/town and country - Participants are allowed to change their location if desired. However others will be able to see it.

  • Time zone - Defaults to the Server time zone (America/New York)

Note: Changing your time zone will make due dates reflect the time it is due in that particular time zone. For example, an activity due at 1pm in Eastern Standard Time (New York) will show as 10am for someone who sets their timezone to Mountain Standard Time (Denver CO). The actual times are the same in both cases.

  • Description - allows you to share information about yourself.  Remember that other users will see anything you post in the description box.
