Dear all,
Following a session at the FE User Group a few weeks ago, I've been looking at the Enhanced Cloud Profiles (previously MyEDU); we're running the Q4 2016 release, and have found that they can be enabled on the admin panel, under Cloud Profiles and Tools by changing the Profile Type from Basic to Enhanced. We've been running the basic profiles for a few years (with limited use). The enhanced profiles enable the adding of tiles to My Cover Page where a student can add their course of study, level, progress, expectations of work, skills, work experience and other items:

This has been available in The States for a while, but was 'internationalised' recently.
Is anyone else using this?
I like the idea of the enhanced profiles; this could be a great place to record experience of work and employability skills. However, I'm finding that the interface is very American - there's an option called Classification to select Freshman, Sophomore or Junior, and in the Location Preference where a student can select where they'd like to work, the only possible locations are in North America:

I'm also not sure who, other than the student themselves and their classmates, can see these profiles.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else is either using this, or has considered it - the system looks like it has great potential, but the issues described above are making me think it's not quite ready to be used 'in anger' yet...
Best
