Getting started¶
Here's how to get going in online:academy — from login to your first click.
Signing in¶
You receive an invitation email with a link. Click it, set your password, done.
If you can no longer find the link: enter your email address on the login page, click Forgot password, and you'll get a new link by mail.
Setting up your profile¶
After your first login, it's worth completing your profile — other learners and trainers see your name + avatar in learning groups, comments and peer reviews.
- Click your avatar at the top right.
- Select Profile.
- Upload a profile picture, add your name, and optionally a short self-description.
Changing the language¶
By default, the platform speaks the language set in your browser. To switch manually:
- Avatar at top right → Profile.
- Choose the language — German, English and further languages are loaded on demand.
Changing your password¶
- Avatar at top right → Profile.
- In the Security tab: enter your current password, choose a new one, confirm.
You'll see the minimum requirements for the password as you type — usually 8+ characters with a mix of letters, numbers and special characters.
