 Hello, in this screencast I want to highlight some of the main profile features within the Octel website. So I'm on the landing page for Octel, this is octel.octel.ac.uk slash 2014. And within the site, on each of the pages that you go to, if you're not logged in you'll see this username and password box. So hopefully you've already received those details of your within a separate email. If at any point you forget your password we have a password recovery option here. For added convenience we actually use some additional services to provide authentication for us. So for example, if you use a Gmail or a Google account as your email address when registering for the course, you can click this button and then essentially we use Google to authenticate you and log you in. So let me show you how that works. So I'm just clicking on the Google and the email address I've already registered with the courses in here and I just need to enter my password. So none of this information gets passed back to us. All that's happening is the site is asking Google to authenticate you and Google will send back, yes this is a person on the course essentially. So I click sign in. So what should happen now is we are now logged in. So the login box gets replaced with a link. This link goes to your profile. You can also access your profile through this menu option here as well but I'll just go through here. So this is your main profile landing page. So there are a couple of tabs and there will be other videos explaining some of those to you. So for now I want to focus on the profile tab. So this is where you can enter information about yourself so that other participants on the course can see, connect with you. So for example if you've got a Twitter account or a delicious account you can choose to advertise that so people can connect with you on other services as well not just within Octel itself. So I'm going to set this up by clicking on the edit button to enter some information. So we've got some basic things such as name and where you're from. The one I want to show you in particular is this the blog address. So the way that the site is set up is if you're blogging about the course then if you register your blog with us then we basically look for new posts relating to Octel and then they go into the course reader and they get pushed out in the newsletter as well. So if this is something that you want to do what you need to do is just enter the address of where you blog. So I'm just entering mine. And there's a button here which we'll just check to see if there's a data feed that it can get the information from. So yes it's got it. The other thing to do is by default you're not searchable as a member of the site. So there's a button here as well. So once we've got all those set we can click save and that will update the information. Something else to note is that within each of these fields except for the name which is required you can choose whether or not it's visible. So for example if you don't want just people to find out where you blog from you can select so that it's only visible to you yourself it's only visible to members of the site or it's only visible to your friends and there'll be a separate screen crass about friending people within the site. The next tab I want to show you is just this social. So this is where you can enter some of your social profile information. So for some of the fields like Twitter you can just enter your Twitter handle. For something like Google Plus it's a bit more complicated because we just need the URL. I'm just going to ignore that message and just grab the URL. And for other services like SlideShare it's just your ID or your username. Delicious and they have a bookmarking service and DJI as well. So I'm going to click on save. So again we've got full control about whether or not these are visible. I'm just going to switch to the view option and what you can see is all those places are linked to. So if I want to see this profile page I can just click on the link and the same for Twitter and so on. The last thing I just want to quickly talk about is your avatar. It's nice to see the face behind the name. So there are a couple of ways that we have picture avatar integration into the site. We use the Gravatar service so for some of you if you've already registered with Gravatar with the same email address you're using on the course you might already have a picture here. But you can also choose to upload a file as well. So I'm just going to copy this file here and you can also click on the button which brings up the file picker. So you can just navigate for a picture on your desktop or your hard drive and then like a lot of other sites we can resize this image, crop it how we like. And that's it save. So that's the basic information about profiles. Stay tuned for other screencasts covering some of the other features. Thanks.
