Please, please,..... make the navigation .... EASY!!!!
No more context change every click.
Make the review processes easy at a glance.
The few pages... the best.
Think easy for the end user.... not for the programmer.

To Kimberly and Cisco: It is not enough to improve, now. It's too late, because class has started and preparations for some us consisted of trying to figure out a web page and not the new curriculum. Many Academy instructors are not full time employees that work with other Cisco instructors, and teach maybe 2-3 days a week. It actually is possible that being busy is because you are sought after, and work as a self-employed person or for another company. In fact, the three Cisco instructors I know in my country are not hired at the schools they teach. Instructors that are sought after are a resource for the Networking Academy system, so I am guessing that they are not something you want to lose.
Within a space of ten years this is the second time I have told Cisco that making several changes at the same time may not be the best solution for anybody; neither student, support nor teacher.
Like I have said in my post about this topic. It is clear that Cisco has not tested the web page thoroughly before launch, and I cannot understand it, since it seems that the Academy program is very important to Cisco. Why not just wait, instead of launching to make a date? What's there to lose just waiting? Martin's point about "...not for the programmer..." proves the point that the web page has been tested in an office with several programmers observing, and living the web page, and when they felt comfortable with it it's launched....for an American public without learning disabilities and aged under 28.
It's very simple: reintroduce the old web page and let those who like and have the time and brains for a labyrinth of a web page spend their time on that, and let the rest of us do what we're hired for: teach and follow up students... and if you feel this is too much, please, please, read Martin's headline...again!!!

I have mentioned that also but it seems to get worse each time a change is made.
Too bad they did not wait a year or more to make it right.
