Making the certificate available at the student's homepage to be at the discretion of the instructor
At the completion of a course, after student being marked complete by the instructor, the certificate of completion appear at the student's page. This give the students the opportunity to have the soft copy of the certificate. In so many cases, some dubious students doctor the soft copy, change the name of the student, attest the instructor signature and issue a forged certificate to colleague who didn't complete the course or issues such certificate to a friend who didn't participate in the class. It can simply be curbed if there is provision In the administration tool through which certificate availability…

final grades, IT Essentials
Can you make it so that students can retake the final (with instructor's permission) and have the latest grade count? Now the students cannot qualify for a letter, only a certificate, if they get less than 80 on the final ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. Subsequent attempts do not count.

Implement a change to "Launch Course" by allowing instructor content to display with Cisco curriculum instead of under "Modules"
Currently instructor created content only shows up under "Modules" button. Implement a change so that the instructor created content shows up via "Launch Course" along with the Cisco created content. The instructor created content should only show up for the instructor that created it - no other instructors should see it.

Make it easier to CLONE/COPY courses
Provide step-by-step instructions for instructors to use the same coursework for more than 1 year. When exporting you have no instruction for importing and changing course dates. Very difficult... :(

Create an API for course creation
I'd like to be able to use an API to do the following:
1) create a course, set start and end dates
2) create seat tokens
3) set due dates for each assignment
4) add assignmentsOur academy is run entirely by volunteers and having a manual process for course creation takes instructor time away from students. I'm sure even those institutions with paid staff would benefit from automation.

set focus on username for the login screen
When I click the login link, the login screen appears. Focus is not set on the login screen, so I have to click on the Username text box. Set the GotFocus property of the username box to true (or whatever the equivalent is for your environment.) My VB may be a bit rusty, but the idea is pretty easy.

Break up courses that align to certifications requiring two exams
Is there a way to either create a mid term or break into two courses courses like IT Essentials or CCNA CyberOps that require two exams? This way students can get their discount voucher for the first exam halfway through the course, and then the second discount voucher at the end of the course.

Requesting to add Academy Orientation into 'Create Course' list in ITC
I found most of the new instructors are getting difficulties and lack of knowledge to use most of the Netspace tools because they have not completed the Academy Orientation course properly.
Therefore, please consider to add Academy Orientation course into the ITC course creation list. Then, we can monitor their activities before the instructor accreditation. Never the less, this will help us to identify most lacking areas and they can be addressed in local IPDs.
