How Do Students Update Their Display Name?

Student display names are what you see when you view their work. They are not what students use to log in.

Symptom: Student names are showing up as numbers and letters

Symptom: I don't know who's who when I'm looking at assignments

Student display names are what you see when you view their work. They are not what students use to log in.

 Teacher Changes Display Name

If there are just one or two students who need display name updates, teachers can do this from their dashboard. If there's an entire class, it may be faster and easier for students to update their display names themselves.

  1. Click "Students" on the left-hand menu
  2. Find Student

You can sort students by Student Name (display name), username, or just use the search bar to pull up the student whose display name you need to change

  1. Click "Edit" 
  2. Update Student Name and click "Update"

Students Change Display Name

  1. Click "My Settings" from their dashboard
  1. Click the Edit Icon next to My Name
  2. Type in desired display name and click the save icon

Students can also click "Change User Name" on the Settings page
WARNING: Changing your user name will break all existing links to your storyboards since they contain your user name as part of the URL. This means if you have posted the link anywhere, you need to update the new link.

Then you can update your Username after entering your password.
