The LO Down

Everyone who uses Campus Pack gets their own place, outside of the course areas, to make their own. This is called the Personal Learning Space, or PLS. You can use it as an ePortfolio, store of your academic work as well as extracurricular activities and interests all in one place. You can share some or all of PLS content with others inside and outside your school. You can even invite people in via email. 

 

You can do a lot to make your PLS look like your PLS, and not someone elses. Let's take a look at what I did...

 

 

You can see that I changed the default colors, and I changed the default image to a lobsta (there are rumors I'm from Maine).

 

Changing your theme

Most of the time, you can get to your PLS by clicking on a PLS tab or a link in your CMS. This is something your CMS admin would setup.

 

Once there, click on your name in the upper right corner, and then click on settings.

 

 

The settings page allows you to use either the default theme, or one of the many others. Yes, there are a plethora of themes.

 

 

Changing your icon

From that same page you can also change the icon. While writing this, I decided to bother Hal by changing my icon to a jumping frog.

 

 

There's one obvious button called Change Image. When you click that, you're able to select your new icon. I chose the froggyanimated.gif.

 

 

Here is the final result. My icon changed from a lobster to a jumping green frog and the color theme is now green.

 

Changing your shirt

Ok, this really isn't part of Campus Pack, but, from time to time, change your shirt. Trust me.
