SUBSTANTIALLY improve efficiency of site
The new netacad.com academy evolution netspace site has created HOURS of new work for me as an instructor, with ZERO additional educational benefit for the student.
The site is not secure, as it passes students email address, grades, and answers to exam questions in clear text over the public internet. This does not allow proper protection of student grades under US FERPA laws, as we teach students in the CCNA curriculum how to capture clear text web data using Wireshark. PLUS we have to teach students that it is OK to click past a security error warning in a website. This is purely unacceptable.
This site has 5-10 hours of work per class per semester for the instructor, and added no benefit.
My suggestion is to re-think your goals of the site. Your number one goal should be to: Increase student education while reducing time the instructor has to manage the class. Seems that your number one goal is the exact opposite of this.
