Ability to EMAIL to all students
Just like Blackboard, the ability to send an e-mail to everyone is important for notification purposes
1 voteHello Behzad,
NetSpace allows you to send messages to your students within the InBox in the top right corner of your classroom. You can either send individual messages or if you’d like to send the same message to your entire class, simply start typing the name of the course. You’ll see your course name pop up and you can then message all students in that course.
I hope this helps! -
Make the recognition program searchable by name or school.
Hi All,
If I want to locate myself under years of service, my only search options are: Award Type, Year, and Region. That narrows down the list to about 10 pages, more for people with fewer years of service. It would be nice if I could locate people by their name or school instead of having to search through multiple pages manually.

Using tags to eliminate information / collaboration silos
It's unfortunate to see the plethora of file / forum silos artificially designated. One communications stream for teachers, one for students, with tags, and filtering views would be far better, simpler, and useful. This is, after all, no longer the 90's with Blackboard style silos for every forum. Separate file areas for every interest? Put them in a single place, tag them and then sort to view. What if there was a unique twitter feed for every hash tag? If you wanted to use two tags, you had to post, then follow, two individual feeds? How last century!

make netspace compatible with windows 8 touch screens
When I try to access the drop down headings, the drop down disappears when I try to select an option. For example, I cannot choose CCNA under Offerings.
1 voteHi John,
Currently, Cisco NetSpace site functionality and site performance works best when users use the two current versions of the following supported web browsers:
•Mozilla Firefox
•Google Chrome
•Internet ExplorerWhere possible we recommend using Firefox and Chrome browsers for the best site experience, and don’t forget to enable cookies and JavaScript PDF reader in your browser settings.
We will keep our eye on the Windows 8 touch screens and consider it in the future.
Thank you,

Add personal cisco ID to instructor sign on certificate
Any Networking Academy instructor has Cisco industrual certificate and personal Cisco ID. I suggest add that ID to the instructor sign and may be student Academy ID to the certificate because there is only names on the current certificate and students don't have information where are they - the 1000th or 1000000th among the others.

Date as Printed on Certificate - Date when Passed Status Awarded
As of the moment, the date shown on the certificate is when students actually click the get certificate button. Will it be possible to have the date on the certificate based on the date the instructor issued a Passed Status on the student and not on the date student clicks the get certificate button?

Have an e-mail sent when I get a message
Please have the website send me an e-mail when I get a message. The Inbox is so obscure to see that even when I log into the website, it is very difficult to see the message indicator.

Announces or discussion feedback
When we send a discussion or announce we don't know who has seen and read the message.
I think that it would be appreciable if we have a feedback

Give academy administrators greater access to user demographic information.
As addminisrators we must answer questions and solve problems. Having access to correct data makes the kob easier. In this specific case I could have saved and hour if I had access to the user screen names and the ability to reset passwords. Knowing that the user had logged in and created an account gives me information that I can use when they say thay had not logged in. Dates and time and access to user profile would help me do my job better and moer efficiently.
Thanks for you consideration.

Vouchers for Instructors that need to re-certify
Can Cisco provide a method where current instructors can get a voucher for the exams to re-certify certifications.
1 voteHi Richard,
So unfortunately, vouchers for instructors apply only to newly qualified instructors, e.g. instructors who just joined the program or existing instructors who have just qualified to teach a new (for them) curriculum. E.g. an instructor who was previously teaching IT Essentials and then gets qualified to teach CCNA Discovery, will become eligible for a CCNA Composite voucher.
We do realize though there is tremendous demand for vouchers from instructors and given our limited supply of them, we are working on ways to make them available via rewards and incentives. For example, this year, instructor vouchers were awarded at instructor conferences and have also been used as part of the new Rewards and Recognition program for some instructors who met particular milestones or other criteria.
Thank you for your feedback. I hope this helps!

Speed up the timeline for issuing exam vouchers
The 30 days it’s now taking to request and receive the CCNA exam voucher is too long. Our High School Academy also acts as the testing center. It is the only testing center within an hour-and-a-half drive of the Academy. The testing center closes with the Academy during the summer break. In order for the Students to receive the voucher in time to take the Certification Exam before they graduate or leave for the summer, they would have to complete the courses in April. This leaves over a month that the Students have finished the course, but still have to…
1 voteHi Robb,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the 21 day processing time presents a burden to our students and instructors. The additional processing time is necessary to prevent fraud and ensure the sustainability of the voucher program for all our students and instructors globally. However, we are working to improve our systems and processes so that we can reduce the processing time. We hope to implement a shorter processing time by the end of the summer.
