Modify chapter order
Hello!
I dont know if is this the correct place, but I want to let you know my thoughs and experience with the Version 5 Curriculum. The current chapter order is a complete disaster. Students feels frustrated because Initial chapters cover topics that were not even learned as addressing, routing and protocols. The previous version (4) had a better organization and the experiences with that version were always positive. It would be great to use the new curriculum with the old order.

Thank you for your update Sebastian. You will be able to drag the chapters in any order from the ‘Modules’ section of your course home page. -NetAcad Support

The Introduction to networks course that I am finishing seems to me that it has right content but distributed the wrong way, for example in the chapter 2 (I think it was) we did some practice configuring switches and asked the students to use crossover cables for connection between switches, They asked me, what was a crossover cable? When I asked them to asign an ip to the management vlan, they asked me, what an IP was? why those numbers? What is a vlan?. And the answers to all these questions was "do not worry about that now, we will see it later.". And this was repeated several times during the course. I do not remember that had happened with the previous version.
The case is that students do practices without knowing what they are doing and the knowledge does not stays fixed.
I’m trying to see how to reorder it, but I cant find the way, it seems like if someone wrote the curriculum with an idea, another ordered the chapters with another idea and someone more designed practices with a diferent idea in mind.
