Enrollment to higher modules
Why netspace permits to enroll students to higher modules without completing lower modules.
Ex: Without completing CCNA R&S module 1, enrolling to module 2 may be prevented.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. We want to allow the instructor as much control as possible to enroll students as they determine.

Cambiar zona horaria de Venezuela
La hora de Venezuela fue modificada desde el 01 de Mayo de 2016.
Antes era -04:30 GMT. Ahora es -04:00 GMT.
Esto es oficial y se puede verificar.
Esto puede afectar distintas actividades, como exámenes programados en NetSpace. Se agradece hacer el ajuste correspondiente previa verificación de la información señalada.Este horario no deberá tener cambios en el futuro, ya que quien propulsó el absurdo cambio de -4:00 a -04:30 GMT se muriooooo. Se trataba del pseudo-dictador Hugo Chavez y .... se muriooooo.

Ease of Student Enrolment
There are a number of issues with enrolling students into classes. We run a large Academy (100s of concurrent students) with multiple concurrent classes. Due to the large size of our student list we need a simple means of creating multiple classes, creating multiple student accounts, and allocating those students to a class. There are also a number of issues with student enrollment/accounts:
1) Students can change their name and/or email addresses in the system making it almost impossible to locate students in a University class list from the NetAcademy gradecentre
2) Students are not sorted by surname (seriously which…

Offer the IT Fundamentials course through netcad
This course appears to be a precursor to the A+ course and would be good for students to start here to see if this is what they want to do.
11 votesThank you for your suggestion. Please use the Get Connected course as a precursor to the A+ course. At this time we will not be developing a separate IT Fundamentals course.

more use of Netflow GUI windows software
Add more labs with Netflow using Windows software for displaying the properties of the different flows. Also include data generating examples in the lab like: telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl , surf to secure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgwyo6JNTDA , surf to unsecure (http) video etc etc
This goes for CCNA, and especially CCNP

Online finals on CCNP courses should be closed as default
I think it is basicly wrong that the CCNP Online Finals (now a quiz) is open as standard. No one should use this setting. The only test that realy should be kept as a secret to the very last day is open all the time (if I am not very much aware and close it before publishing) where the student have all the time in the worl to explore the questions.

Thank you for the suggestion. At this time the default setting for these quizzes is not going to be changed. As the instructor of the course you do have the ability to change this setting. Our recommendation is to make this change before you publish the course which will prevent students from seeing the quizzes in advance. There are also other settings available such as setting an exact date for the quiz to be visable. Please contact the Support Desk directly through the Help link if you have additional questions.

exam activation
When i deactivate exam from the assessment center, dates never get updated in the assignment section ; still showing the old dates.
1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) responded
Yes, that is correct. The due date for the assessment is not determined from when an assessment is activated or deactivated. It is something the instructor has the ability to edit through the gear icon next to the chapter name.

Assesment
Please see the possibility of including dead /due date to students calendar once i activate the exam and remind them
this could easier student life; since all students are using phone these days and calendar is there they will get notification and they wont miss the deadline;
when i was analyzing the class report many students miss the deadline; it could be avoided by adding calendar notification in students calendar1 voteThanks for the feedback. Getting the Assessment to show on the student calendar is available today. After setting the Activation, the instructor can go into the Canvas Assignment and add the Due Date as part of the Assignment. Once completed, the Assignment will display on the Student Calendar.

Calendar Integration
I am interested in a Calendar feature that provides the ability display a subscribed or shared calendar. Or the ability to create a secondary calendar that others could add items to.
The purpose would be for a single entity to develop a list of events, competitions, student opportunities and more, without each instructor receiving an email of an event and then using the good ole copy and paste method. This is not efficient, and not effective. Students are missing many opportunities for lack of time to effectively share them.
This feature would be used to allow a resource teacher, chairperson,…

class
In the class people section provide option to move class from one class to another class; for example if some students in a class unable to complete all chapters, exams due to some medical or personal reason; but the class end date is over in such case instead of marking students fail; incomplete we can move students from one class to another class so that students will continue with out loosing his previous grades, existing class will be concluded without waiting for pending students

exam activation
If a student enrolled after after an exam - test activated that student must be included in the existing activation; no need to create a separate activation for such students; difficult to know the later entry students and managing activation in such cases.
