Improve Internal Server Error UX
In Chrome some students experienced an Internal Server Error when they navigated to the a specific page "assignments" like Chapter 1 exam.
Maybe it can be a cache related error but, because Netacad involves a lot of students, it could be more useful to catch the error in back end and give friendly information to the students.1 vote -

Get rid of forcing people to regularly update passwords
The NetAcademy password update policy follows poor security practices
Regular updates of passwords without being able to reuse an existing password leads to people choosing poor passwords as they need to be constantly reset
2 votesThank you for the suggestion. We are following Cisco’s password policy that is reviewed and updated on a regular basis.

Use Netriders PT Skills as Advanced challenge labs in R&S courses
I teach Linux using the netacad.com LPI Linux Essentials course. Within the course are four challenge labs at the end of the modules.
Cisco is not running the Netriders competition this year, and seemingly has run Netriders for the last time.
What is the possibility Cisco would release the Netriders competition PT skills exams as advanced challenge labs within the R&S curriculum?

Disable option for students to use Canvas to email the INSTRUCTOR
I recently learned that the NetAcad contact has the option to disable Canvas email between students to deter cheating. But the students can still email the teacher. Most education institutions require the students to use their organization email address to keep official records of student/teacher correspondence. Recommend that the academy contact be allowed to disable the email option within Canvas completely. In my case this is presented to the students on day one through their Student Handbooks but students take the easier way out and still email me using canvas.
1 voteArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the suggestion. We have talked to the Canvas team and this is an idea they have received outside of the Cisco environment. They do not have a lot of votes so the enhancement is not something they are able to implement at this time. They will keep this in mind for the future.

More Formatting Capability for the Rubric
Provide more formatting capability for the Rubric. When setting up rubrics for labs, it looks more like run-on sentences. It would make it easier to design the rubric.
1 voteArchived · AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) respondedThank you for the suggestion. The Rubic is an area they are looking to update in the future but will not be completed in the next 6 months.

Implement CCIE R & S experimental course based on certification topics.
Implement the CCIE R & S experimental course.
Gentlemen of netacad, soaking a bit more in the CCIE I managed to find out that this does not have prerequisite, so I consider that incorporating it into netacad courses as an experimental course based on the topics of certification would be great.
In conclusion, the idea I want to share is that: CCIE R & S courses can be created in order to measure and enhance the number of professionals who would choose to take the course at a cisco academy.

As a corporate social responsibility program, NetAcad’s core mission is to help students get their first job, prepare them for a successful start in a career in technology. Therefore, our focus is on developing entry-level skills and offering professional level courses goes beyond our core mission. We hope NetAcad students will go on to take professional level training like CCIE. If you or your students are interested in pursuing those higher-level skills, we recommend you explore the resources available through Cisco’s training and certification organization.

Crear Cursos Interactivos para CCNP R&S
Estimados,
Sería genial que al igual que los cursos de CCNA, se pueda con apoyo de todos los instructores crear de una vez por todas, los cursos interactivos para CCNP ROUTE, CCNP SWITCH y CCNP TSHOOT.
Esto sería más vistoso, más cómodo, mejor ordenado y sobre todo se notaría mucho la importancia por parte del programa Networking Academy de mejorar esos cursos de nivel profesional, espero se pueda lograr.
