Single download of Academy Connection content
I believe it would be helpful for instructors who have taught many classes to be provided a single (or at least far fewer than currenlty) download of their Academy Connection content.
A script that would download all of the rosters and gradebooks to at least a .csv file would save instructors significant time and energy.
Please share if there is currently a better way than going to each class and click click save click click click. :)
Thank you in advance. We have until June 30th.

Common Links
With Netspace, there are "carpal tunnel" number of clicks to access common pages. I would like to suggest a module on the home page for commonly accessed pages.
Nice idea, eh? I know. Brilliant. I am sure it is on the way... before carpal tunnel sets in.

I will show you some simulators I have done during these 15 CNA years
I have done different simulators to visualize IP address, mask, logical functions, subnets and so on. You have to download runtime version for ToolBook to look at these files. http://kb.sumtotalsystems.com/community_kb_tb_display.asp?id=P2530.
Possible you can use some idea in study material and make same kind simulator with some other programming language.RGDS Rauno Vauramo

To break the stupid passwords limitations
I work in this branch more than 30 years, but only once I saw more stupid rules for passwords. Why the password cannot start by a digit? Why I can use just alphanumeric chars? Do you understand that such rules force people to choose passwords like Name1234? The company feeling itself on the top of IT area should have quite different approach to this case...

Custom Reports
I believe custom reporting would be a powerful feature for instructors.
For example, gradebook reports that display missing assignments for one (or multiple) students receiving low results on an assessment, could be provided to students via printout or email to identify their areas for improvement.
Additionally, a message or announcement that could be "multi-cast" to a subset of students based on a threshold of performance, or to share a common feedback notice.

proxy, nat and pat in PC packetracer
I think that in packet tracer, PC need to have proxy functionality already usable like firewall functionality, because many cases, some pc's or server's do the NAT and APT translation and not only the routers

Discontinue an Academy
Give the ASC the capability to discontinue one of its Academies in the case it does not renew the bilateral agreement (ASC-Academy).
In this moment in seems an Academy can continue with its normal operations even if the ASC deletes the relationship.1 vote -
Make it useable with IE 8
I find it unacceptable of what you have done with this new site.
It as if a bunch of techies decided to make this new site and think that let's make it a more social network. If you had any educators work on this I think they are fools. I have been a licensed certified educator for 38 years and this is an example of what I would say is education going down hill. What you need to do is write good accurate material as version 2.x was. Very few mistakes, easy site to navigate, excellent ppt,docs and other resources.…1 voteBrian, Sorry for your frustation related to IE8. We do all we can to ensure the platform supports the latest two versions of the most common browsers. We can’t control how fast the companies release new browsers and we have to apply our resources to support the newer versions. As you know IE 10 was released last October and we’ve extended our support of IE8 as far as we can.
Thanks! -
browsers
Just got a response from help and they said share idea with curriculum on browsers. I think it is horrible that you have eliminated IE 8. Try and design your site as if you are trying to make money. I ev en got an error when I used Firefox 20.1 that I was using an unsupported browser. I was excited that you were moving from flash and then you go to canvas. I would fire all of you and get people who can design a site that can be using on many operating systems and many browsers. Think like a…
1 voteHey Brian, Again our apologies for your frustrations with IE 8. We believe our browser policy is consistent with most “for profit” sites, which we are not. As noted, we do all we can to ensure the platform supports the latest two versions of the most common browsers. We can’t control how fast the companies release new browsers and we have to apply our resources to support the newer versions. As you know IE 10 was released last October and we’ve extended our support of IE8 as far as we can.
Thanks!

past site
After reading through all 17 screens of suggestions I am astonished of how many instructors are asking for features that are already in the old site. Did anyone think to ask us what we wanted or needed?
Why could not all the features of the old site not be ported over. If they were good there they surely would be wanted or needed in the new site.1 voteBrian,
Great question. The answer is that our goal was not to recreate the old system. From a program perspective we needed increased flexibility and a better cost structure. Establishing a modular platform into which “off the shelf” products could be integrated delivers those benefits. The result is very different from the old system and we know changes is difficult. For that reason, we continue to work to improve the user experience (look for improved assessment activation next week) and the help and support materials.Again, our apologies for your frustration.

I do not need so many tutorials, too much time lost. Make possible access with fewer steps for professional people.
Let instructors skip steps if they manage informations quickly. Too many steps, too many words, too many videos.
1 voteHi Cristina,
The tutorials are not required, just there for support. Thank you for your feedback! -
Will there be an app for packet tracer for both CCNA and ITE.5 and if so, when will it be available? I am in process of setting up a new lab
There is a need for an app for Packet Tracer to be able to function on Apple IOS. The statement that CCNA 5.0 and ITE 5.0 curriculums function on Apple devices is not true, since Packet Tracer labs are imbedded in the those curriculums and Packet Tracer cannot be installed on Apple devices.
1 voteHi Paul,
Please visit the following URLs for more information:
https://www.netacad.com/group/program/equipment-information
The recommended Operating Systems for NetAcad curriculum and Packet Tracer are Microsoft Windows 7/XP/Vista and Linux kernel version 2.6. Many of our academies and instructors utilize Windows Emulator for Apple and other platforms to address their specific operating environment.
Based on feedback from the community, NetAcad will be looking to support additional Operating Systems, such as Apple Mac OS, Apple iOS and Android, but no timetable has been announced.
Thank you!
