What’s happening?
From Wednesday 18 March, your learner profile on OpenLearn will no longer have a biography section that you can fill in with information about yourself. This feature is being removed to improve the security of OpenLearn for all our learners.
Currently the profile landing page looks like this:
Instead of the biography, it will be easier to access other parts of your profile such as your courses in progress, saved items and achievements.

Removing the biography also makes the landing page of your profile page easier to navigate and increases access to sections such as your courses in progress, saved items and achievements. You will now not only be able to see and access them more easily, but it will also display how many items you have in each of those areas.
All other parts of your profile are unaffected.
If you are an author, your author biography will remain unchanged.
What do I need to do?
If you have a learner biography in your OpenLearn profile and would like to save that text for yourself, please copy and paste it from your biography before Wednesday 18 March. Other than that, there is nothing you need to do!
