Whether you're a student or an instructor, your Blackboard Learn app profile is populated with your Blackboard Learn profile information, including your name and picture.

If your institution enables it, you can easily change your profile picture within the app, and it will update across all instances of your profile picture in the Blackboard Learn app and platform.

You can't change your name or other personal information because that data is pulled from your institution's Blackboard Learn system.

Your name and profile picture are visible to others within the app, while he rest of your profile information isn't shared with others.
