Upload a Folder, rather than individual files
Rather than uploading a .zip file, without the ability to unzip the same file on Netspace, it would be nice to have a feature to upload a folder of files rather than individually.
I am unsure why this was not part of the original. Any reason why? Is there an FTP Server?

common web page for one instructor
I have four classes currently running cisco 1 x 2, cisco 2 and 3
I upload my files to each class such as worksheets, but I have seen (once) a page that listed all my files.
is it possible to just have the files I need in ONE place, then create links to these files when I want the student to access them?
That way I conserve my 500Mb limit by only having ONE copy of each file stored on the canvas server
thanks

Upload CSV File of Potential Students to Enrol in a Course
Issue:
It is very challenging to locate a SUBSETof eligible students to enrol in a course if you have several eligible students in your academy.Request:
The upload of a CSV file of a SUBSET of eligible students can be used by NetSpace to filter out the other eligible students that are not part of the SUBSET.This feature will make life easier in administering large academies.
Thank you!
1 voteHi Adesola,
Good news! You are now able to enroll existing students into subsequent courses using a CSV file. Please see the NEW Enroll Students tutorial. This is available from the NetSpace home page, click on Program then NetSpace Tutorials. I hope this helps. We are not planning to have a filter option available for eligible students. Thank you for your suggestion! -
An open question to feedback forms
Would it be possible to add an "open question" to feedback forms and give some space for students to write down their opinions?

Where is the Linux versions of Packet Tracer 6.0.
Need to post the Packet Tracer 6.0 for Linux versions. Thank you!
1 voteHi Dennis,
The Linux resources are on the Resource page. Go to NetSpace, Offerings and Packet Tracer. On that page, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. At the bottom of the page click on Access Resources, then you will see PT5.3.3 and PT6.0, click on the PT6.0 and all of the versions are in that series of folders.
Hope this helps! -
Announcement
Perhaps is a good idea to send by mail a new announcement or reply to it. I do some communicatios by announcement and I need to log into the course and check news in place of receiving notifications by mail. Thanks.

Fully name the SBA files so they can be efficiently found
The SBA files are ALL listed as "Skills Based Exam", but the user has to click each file, wait for it to open and then check to see if it is the correct exam needed. Adding the course name to the file name would be extremely helpful.

A link that shows "the student view" of the course.
Just to check what links and other stuff they could see and what does not.
1 voteHi Laura,
Good news, the Student View link is available! Click on Settings while in your course and the Student View button is located at the top right. In addition, you can also enroll yourself in the course as a “test” student. I hope this helps! -
Mark questions for review
During the assessments i notice that sometimes my students answer some questions, but write the question number so they can review them at a later time before the end of the exam. I think that it would be interesting, if the students could mark the questions for review.

Activate Chapter test link back to Chapter tests page
After activating a chapter test you can not easily get back to the chapter tests should you want to activate another test. At present the only way I can see is to use the back button. Can we have a link back to the chapter tests - this would be one click instead of many and if you are activating multpile chapters takes a while.
Maybe we can have the facility to activate multiple chapters at a time.

Enroll existing users to a CA/ITC
The option of sharing users to an academy should be emphasized somehow. At the moment, you have to use the add new button from the manage tab. From the name of that button, I can understand that a new user would be created, but only if i use the same name and email of the existing user, he be imported into the academy.
I think that creating new users and sharing existing ones should be done using different methods. (for example a different button with 'share users' displayed name, or a share user option displayed in the pop-up window that…1 vote -

Simpler method for instructors to take exams or Skill Based Assessments
If I want to simulate the student experience for taking an assessment, it is not clear how to do that. It should be easy for me to take the same exam or SBA that the students will take in my class so that I can prepare them properly.
1 voteHi Keith,
When in your course, you can go to Settings and click on the Student View. There is also the Assessment Viewer – go to the Exam, click on Load Activity in a new window and the Assessment Viewer is on the right hand side (opposite default/advanced activation). Both of these are for you to view what the student sees. Maybe the best option for you would be to enroll yourself in the course as a “test” student. This will allow you to take the exams. I hope this helps!
