Please make your website HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript compliant please.
Requiring Flash and Java plugins (which are targets of malware) is not good. Please make your website HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript compliant please.

Edit Upcoming and Previous courses in Academy Locator
Let us edit the upcoming and previous courses liste in Academy Locator.
We can use it as a calendar of courses.
In this moment, we cannot edit this info (which are automatically retrived) and only course offerings are shown (i.d. the list of curricula offered instead the list of upcoming or previus courses/classes)1 voteHello Maurizio,
The Previous and Upcoming Courses list in the Academy Locator is pulled directly from the courses that are published in NetSpace. So the course information can only be edited from there.

Add field to name for Jr, SR, II, 3rd, etc
A couple of my students have a suffix attached to their name such as "Jr". There currently is no place to place this information other than in first name or last name. Help desk has recommend 1st name, but really it needs to be a separate field.

Stop sending messages to students when we change something
I would really like to control what messages go out to students when I work in the class. For example, former students are still getting messages, even when I do a simple copy- I know they can turn off the feature, but I should be able to do that as well.

Modify Conclude and Permanently delete course buttons
Issue: Manual conclude course hyperlink is in a poor location. It is located under the 'Permanently Delete this Course' button.
One could understand the concern of pushing said button when the data / course is something that cannot afforded to be lost.
Story:
The issue i had today was trying to conclude a course from 2013. Attempting to adjust the end date of the course wouldn't work and resulted in an error message:"The duration of this course must be between {0} days and {1} days. Please adjust the start and end dates to meet this criteria."

Download messaging activity exchange for time accounting purposes
It would be useful to downnload the exchange of messages between Instructors and students. Not messages themselves, but summarized information showing Course ID, Instructor/Student and the date and time of each message.
This way instructors can show the portion of workload on-line and face-to-face courses entail regarding NetSpace.

peer review (grading)
Is there a way to have each member of a group grade their peers?
I have tried to build an assignment but I have not been able to make one work well. It seem to me if I could get access to the survey form in the assignments that may work.1 voteTrevor,
This sounds like a great tool but this is core Canvas functionality that we do not control. You may try Instructor Guides in Canvas for more support and help; and please use Canvas communities to see if others are having the same issue (http://guides.instructure.com/searches?utf8=%E2%9C%93&text=peer+review&commit=Search).

Bridging Courses (Routing, Switching, Connecting Networks) continuation
Hi!
When new version of CCNA (i.e. CCNA RS) was announced, during all of the instructor meetings (and personally i was on meetings in CIS and Nordic Countries) we were told that we can choose by ourselves model of giving material - either in top-down with Exploration-like education or bottom-up. Nobody told anything that this will disappear after one year. Here at my university CCNA course is a part of university program and this should be agreed with lot of persons to be launched. More important i can't just go and say "Hey you know, that course we arranged and…3 votesHello lurii,
I’m not sure if you saw Thanh Le’s comment, so I will post it here. Please see below:
Hi Iurii,
We have been communicating this message for the past 12 months:
- Cisco Networking Academies’ recommended CCNA R&S course sequence is: Introduction to Networks, Routing and Switching Essentials, Scaling Networks and Connecting Networks
- All academies need to plan for the transition to Cisco Networking Academies’ recommended CCNA R&S course sequence, and as soon as they can
- 3 transitional courses were developed to support the academies during the transition for different reasons, e.g. curricula committee approval, course release timing, lesson plan creation, etc.
- The 3 transitional courses will not be translated and will be end-of-life 12 months after we release all of the courses (in English)BTW, I believe you actually refer to the transition courses when you said “bridging courses”.

Modificar permisos NetAcad Contact cursos
Los NetAcad Contact de cada academia deberian tener la facultad de poder modificar los nombres de TODOS los cursos creados en la misma academia siendo o no siendo instructores primarios o secundarios. De esta manera el NetAcad Contact puede tener una nomenclatura estandar para los cursos de su Academia.

Thank you for your suggestion. Currently it’s not on our roadmap. If anything changes we will reopen your suggestion.

Currently I can't find access to a database of current instructors connected to us an ASC. Is this being planned
1 voteHello Stephen,
You can have an access to the ASC Dashboard from the Access Academy Reports link under the Manage tab in NetSpace. From the ASC Dashboard, the Academy Instructors tab will provide the contact information for the instructors at the ASC’s supported academies.
Please, let me know if you have any questions.
