What does my profile consist of?
Your profile is a page that collects information about you and your activities on POK.
For example, it shows your first name, last name, e-mail address and the MOOCs you are enrolled in on POK.
Account and Registration
Users who are enrolled in a course in which you are also present can see the “User Details” and “General” blocks of your profile.
Only you and POK administrators can see the remaining blocks (Privacy and Policies, Course Details, Reports).

Can I review the explanation tour that was shown to me when I first logged in?
Yes: if a tour is available on the page you are on, at the bottom of the page (e.g. dashboard) you will find a “Reset user tour in this page” button. Use it to restart the tour.

How do I enrol in a course?
When you are on a course page without being enrolled, you can only view the general information and the table of contents: a notice at the top of the page will propose you to log in to POK and, if you have already done so, to enrol in the course to see its full content.
Go to “self enrol into this course”.
Register for the course” and then to “Enrol me”. You will then be able to access the courses you have enrolled in directly from your dashboard.
