How to edit the course instructor's information
The instructor’s name and photo are an important part of the branding of your course. They appear in the student dashboard and help create a more personal and professional learning experience.
On systeme.io you can easily update this information at any time for each course independently.
Here is a clear and complete guide.
1. Open the course settings
Log in to your systeme.io account.
Go to Assets → Courses.
Find the course you want to edit, click the three dots (...) next to it, and select Settings.
The full course settings page will open.
2. Update the instructor name and photo
In the settings page you will find the instructor section.
You can modify two main elements:
- Instructor name – type the name you want to display (it can be your real name, a brand name, or a team name)
- Instructor photo – upload a professional picture (square format works best)
These two fields are independent for every course, so you can have different instructors (or different photos) for different courses if needed.
You can also update other visual elements at the same time (cover image, logo, theme, etc.) if you wish. For a full overview of all course settings, see How to modify a course's information.
3. Save the changes
Once you have updated the name and/or photo, click the Save button in the upper-right corner of the page.
The new instructor information is applied immediately. Students will see the updated name and photo the next time they open the course.
Why it is important to keep instructor information up to date
- It creates trust and a personal connection with your students
- A good photo makes the course look more professional
- You can change the instructor if you have multiple teachers or rebrand the course
- It helps with consistency across your school page and student dashboard
Changing the instructor information does not affect student access, progress, or enrollments. It is purely a visual and branding update.
