Cisco Academy certification

Read the question prior to images in when using screen readers for accessibility
During assessments students with screen readers hear an image description twice in a row, followed by the question. Detaching the image from the question will allow the students to flat review questions and images, so they can hear the question prior to the image, so they will know what they are listening for in the image description.

Final exams logon period
The ccna cyber ops finale exam has a maximum logon time of 365 days. Usually final exams have a maximum logon time of 7 days.

Organize list of courses while creating a class
When you want to open a new course you get a very very long and confusing list and sometime instructors do not know what is the difference between them... It's really easy to get lost now when we have so many courses.

Make course listing by language
There is no way to look for courses by language. It can really help instructors to see what courses are available in their language.
Now they have to click on each course and only then they can see if their language is in the list.
55 votesThanks for the suggestion, in the create course wizard, you can now select the language to see just the courses with that language.

Improving Matching Engine.

Randomized exams
Randomize questions from pool of questions or multiple forms are needed for each exam to stop students from memorizing exams posted on the internet.
1 voteThanks for the feedback.
We do have these features and have ensured that summative exams, such as the final exams, have multiple forms and randomization. We do this on the quizzes as well. The quizzes are created and pulled from a pool of questions. The instructors can add to that pool or modify how many items are pulled.Recently, we had an assessment pilot program in CCNA ITN where all of the forms had dynamic sections. As new courses are rolled out, we will work to deploy more of those features. In the meantime, we encourage instructors to create new and engaging questions through the Quiz tool to help mitigate cheating in the classroom.

Add more Skills assessments to the CCNA courses
Would it be posible to have more than one Skills Assessment?
They seem to leak to the Internet...
However, if there were 3 or 4 skills assessments per course - it would be a lot harder to brain dump the skills assessment.3 votesThank you for the suggestion. We will consider for the next version of CCNA.
