Include some options into Assessment components marking.
Kindly find attached the screen shot of another LMS system. In that system, once you open multiple tries for the student(s) then it ask you to select which marks to be posted in the grade book:
Highest Score / Last Score / Average Score
This option gives you flexibility and lets you save the clerical efforts. Imagine, while using Netacad, I've 200 students and if I give 2 to 3 attempts to all of them for two or three PT Skills Assessment activities then I need to manually input the highest grade in the current Netacad system, provided the students…

Make the UI work again, please
Netacad Homepage, Teach, Access the Courses you are teaching --> the new alphabetic order is unexpected and undeclared. Please get back to the "Most recent course first" order, or give us the possibility to choose!
Moreover, the home page of the courses, and of the relevant chapters, does not load the JPG image anymore. Could you please adjust this too?

Can we make assessments accessible to screenreaders like Google Read & Write?
We have really great material for supporting students with disabilities -- is there a technical barrier to making this possible? I have students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, etc. who are excellent computer engineers -- they understand the theory, they can perform on practical tasks and challenges ... they're just not proficient readers.
1 voteReferred to Helpdesk · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the suggestion. Individuals can use this tool for most of the assessments. There are exceptions such as Flash objects in the assessments and any Packet Tracer assessment or questions.
I have emailed you on your case also.

The ability to unpublish assignments after they have been submitted.
I like creating my own exams to use during the course, but hosting them on netspace is a problem because I cannot unpublish them after a student has submitted work. This is a problem, because if I have a student that is absent, I cannot hide it from them, or prevent another student from taking a copy of their already submitted assignment.
1 voteReferred to Helpdesk · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the suggestion. While you cannot un-publish a quiz after it has been taken there are settings in the quiz itself for you to decide if you want the questions locked after a student has taken the quiz. If you have questions on these features, please contact your ASC or the Support Desk for more information.

Fix RSE 6.0 Skills evaluation topology
I've noticed and error in the topology picture on the instructor and student copy of the RSE skills assessment.
S1 shows both PC-A and Trunk to R1 connected to port F0/5. PC-A should be connected to port F0/6 on the diagram.

Réalisation des examens par ordre
J'aimerais bien que vous ajoutiez dans le sous menu "Modules" d'un cours et exactement dans la rubrique "Exigences" en modifiant les paramètres d'un module, l'exigence qui demande d'un étudiant de faire par exemple l'examen préliminaire avant de faire l'examen de chapitre 1, c'est à dire que les examens doivent être réalisés selon l'ordre ou ils sont (préliminaire==>chapitre1==> chapitre2,.....).

Quiz question not giving full marks for correct answer course CCNS R&S Essentials
In the Chapter 3 Practice Quiz for CCNA R&S Routing and Switching Essentials course, there is a matching question with [not all options are used]. When all 5 are matched correctly, including leaving the unmatched section blank, first the quiz will warn that there is a question unanswered when you try to submit. If you submit anyway, the review shows all 5 choices in the question as correct but only gives the student 1.6/2pts for this question.

Issue: Packet Tracer 7 not connecting anonymously
I have some freshmen trying to use PT for an exploratory class. Most of them can launch PT 7.0 but a couple of the PC's are requesting a Netacad login. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
1 voteReferred to Helpdesk · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedPacket Tracer 7.0 requires students to login. If a student does not log out Packet Tracer will normally remember the login and the student will not have to authenticate again. I believe this is what is happening in your course. If you find this is not the case, please open a support ticket.

Packet Tracer Assessments WORKS POORLY or not at all
The Packet Tracers assessment questions HAVE NEVER WORKED reliably. Can the Network academy please overhaul how this work.
Currently, the only way I can get it to launch is with chrome and our college does not support chrome in our lab environment. Even then it works about 60% of the time. It just gets stuck with the loading bar making no progress.

Problem with Exam Voucher
I have been trying to get help with a problem with a student voucher for the CCENT exam and I can't get any help. I submitted two support tickets. The online chat does not work. I tried calling 1-877-404-3929 for support and it is always busy. I contacted my regional director and she told me to go to support chat (which isn't working) I am pulling my hair out trying to get someone to help with this problem to no avail. The voucher my student was issued this summer for the CCENT exam is for the old exam (100-101). All…

Network Fundamentals 5.2.3.1
Some of the information is not clearly stated. Most Cisco switches and Ethernet NICs default to autonegotiation for speed and duplex. Gigabit Ethernet ports only operate in full-duplex. At a 1000 Mbs on Rj45 it is hard coded to full duplex and it is not even a configurable setting. So, the statement above that for example the NIC can operate at full or half duplex is somewhat misleading and incorrect.

Rename "Activation Tool" to Assessment Center
On the Course Home page it would make sense to rename Activation Tool on the left menu to Assessment center because that is the heading of the page that link takes you to, plus it is more meaningful because the Assessment Center allows you to do more than activate assessments - such as view exams and students attempts.
3 votesReferred to Helpdesk · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedWe have opened a case on your behalf. All courses should say Activation Center in them. We will need to review with you the courses you still show Activation Tool listed.

Final Exam Activation after Multiple Attempts (>3)
Had a student that could not take the final exam a 4th time. The solution was to only activate 1 exam. The solution worked, but it is not really a good one for Teachers. There are no notifications to state that student can't be chosen a random exam. The developer of the site must be checking the last exams done and only allowing the non-completed exams through and since he has had 3 attempts all the RANDOM exams have been attempted meaning that he can't take one. Not really a good idea if there is 6 attempts but only 3…
1 voteReferred to Helpdesk · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the feedback. There are ways to allow students multiple attempts on one exam. Many of the exams are authored to only allow 3 attempts maximum per student. There are no plans to change this at this time.
