TA / Instructor in training role
It would be useful to be able to assign a staff member as a Teaching Assistant or Instructor-in-training with limited privileges provided.
Useful privileges would include:
- ability to look at the curriculum without being enrolled as a student
- ability to activate or reset/unlock assessments for students10 votesArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Thank you for the suggestion. Staff members can not help with assessments in the courses at this time and we are unable to make that change. Staff members can help with many other areas of the course without being added as an instructor such as viewing the curriculum.

Results per page values
Hi. Your results per page options are 5,10,20,30 and 50. Our classes are always about 55 to 60. i have two snags i run into. i have to always sort by name first, and then change the option to 50 per page, and then manually edit the amount on top to 60 in the address bar. this is very tedious on a slow connection. if you could have a default view that saves and increase the maximum (and also save that) and also alphabet sorting that saves, it would really save time.
10 votesThank you for the suggestion. Increasing the number will only create more issues for a slow connection.
We will be releasing updates to the I’m teaching user experience in February which should help with this issue also.

Due dates by Modules/Chapters
I want to be able to set assignment due dates by Modules/Chapters. It is very cumbersome to set due dates on every assignment, quiz and exam.

Improve graded PT activity creation
When creating a graded PT activity, currently you need the initial and answer network, and are forced to check the items you want graded (which when grading on a lot of items can be very tedious to set up).
I'd like to see an improvement where PT automatically detects the changes from the initial network to the answer network and checks all those values for you automatically.
This would cut down all the time searching the tree and the boxes to check (not to mention if you forget to check something along the way).

Create an "auto sort" feature for listing assignments.
Allow auto sorting based on assignment due date or assignment name. Currently the only way to sort is to drag and drop. For a large number of assignments, this is cumbersome. Thanks!

Why isn't there a test bank for the assessments, instead of the exact same questions every time ?
Students are finding these assessments online and memorizing the answers to the questions. The assessments are virtually worthless because of this. I have students that can't tell me the difference between memory and storage but are getting 100% on the Chapter exams.

Add searching option to 'Add Item' in the module content
If we have more files and other resources in the class, it is really hard to find them. Therefore, I believe it is good to have a searching option to add module content to the section.
Please refer the attachment for clear idea.

Ability to password proctect exams
I would like to password protect exams. There are times I need a proctor to give an exam and if the student doesn't show up at the proctor's office, I don't want them to be able to take the exam outside of class or outside the proctors office.

Include the word 'Download' in Get Certificate window
Some times it is confusing when I am trying to download the certificates. Literally, I go and click that get certificate button again because it is the most highlighted thing.
Therefore, I suggest to include Download word next to Top-Down arrow or in the start of the download link text.

Added a CCNA CYBER OPS section in the community
In the community it's not possible to put idea or lab example of CCNA cyber ops , if it's possible to create a new section in the comunity forum to exchange informations about ccna cyber ops.

Incomplete Feedback should be automatically cleared or concluded once the activation expires.
Since, feedback is a prerequisite for the final exam, students are unable to sit for the exam if their feedback is incomplete and the activation has already expired. It is extremely upsetting when this issue pops up right before the exam is about to start. Chat support is also not available 24*7.
My suggestion, incomplete feedback should be automatically cleared or concluded based on the provided responses once the activation expires or "View All Attempts" option must also be provided for the teachers to manually clear the incomplete attempt.7 votesWe appreciate your suggestion. While we do think it is a good idea we are unable to implement at this time. We will keep this in mind for future releases.

Posting assignments
I have 6 sections of the same course and it's very time consuming to post the same assignments and assessments to 6 different courses. I wish I could create an assignment or assessment and then check which of my courses to post it to. This is also an issue for announcements. I also have to upload the same file to 6 different sections, so it would save storage space to have one folder that all 6 sections can access. I also wish that we could set default settings for assignments because I ALWAYS need them to attach a file to…
7 votesThanks for you suggestion. Short term, we will not be able to implement this change. We will look into this feature as we implement future changes to our system.
Today, you may try copying the course to save time with multiple sections of the same course.
