Place a "how to" to help people use Virtual Desktop from IT Essentials..
Echo's post in the community providing instructions for making Virtual Desktop work should be listed as a README in the .zip file.....
Here's the steps:
Cause: A permission model change in Adobe Flash Player since v. 23. Beginning with Flash Player 23, local-with-network permissions will now be applied to all local SWF content, regardless of the preference chosen at compile time.
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/fp_23_air_23_release_notes.html (scroll to Disabling local-with-filesystem access in Flash Player by default)Solution:
…After you open the Index.html file in IE and then click “Skip” in the top right corner, Right-Click anywhere within the simulation tool. Choose Global Settings… Go

Thank you for the suggestion. Virtual Desktop is no longer supported and enhancements related to Virtual Desktop will not be reviewed. The FAQ for IT Essentials 6.0 states the following:
Will the Virtual Desktop and Virtual Laptop simulations tools be available in IT Essentials 6.0?
A. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop were standalone tools designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive “hands-on” experience in learning environments with limited physical equipment. Both tools will be available as supplemental material but keep in mind that support for them has been discontinued.- NetAcad Support

Challenging Labs Repository
How about creating a repository, in the cloud, full of challenging exercises in networking (CCNA R$S, CCNA Security, CCNP, etc.), using Packet Tracer or real equipment.
This repository can be divided in two parts:
- One part for sending real life, or not, challenging problems
- Other one for sending solutions (descripcion, labs, files etc.) or interesting propositions.
1 voteThank you for the feedback Ruben, Instructor have been using the Communities section of NetAcad to upload and share additional exercises they may have created.

Create resources to recruit new instructors
I'd love to hear what other partners are doing to recruit new instructors. It is becoming very difficult to fill Academy openings in our region--mostly because the IT sector in government and private companies offers higher salaries than in the field of education--and I want to reach recent college grads and others who might want to teach. Anybody got any ideas?
1 voteHello Nancy, have you already posted this question in the Communities. It may get more of a response from others in the Communities section of Cisco NetSpace.

Lorin, thanks for the feedback. I also responded to your concerns in email. The support operational hours was changed back in August 2014. I haven’t been informed of any impacted Friday or Saturday classes so far.
As for why the phone changes were implemented, we researched contact volumes for each contact method (phone, email, chat, web, and social media) and based the decision on the very low contact volumes via phone.
We are monitoring user experience and I do understand that urgent support incidents need to be addressed immediately. So if your ASC is not available, please try the live chat, email, web, and social media contact options for support. I think you will be pleased with the support provided by the other contact options.
