Being Able To export the Final Exams to Word Docs
In the old Netacad System, you would be able to print the exams to have on hand and quickly access. With the new Netacad System, you can only view the assessment. I think it would help you could be able to export the exams into a Document format. Tech Support said it was that way to prevent cheating, but maybe the document can be encrypted with a password set by the teacher or something to that extent.
Thanks,
Walt3 votesHi Walter,
These exams were not designed with printing capabilities in mind to allow for instructors to always have the most recent version available in our online environment. One thing that you can do is take the exam as a student and turn the item feedback on. The item feedback report will list all of the questions on the exam and relevant information (if you “uncheck” the Student View Only Missed Questions from the Student Performance Summary Report in the Assignment.
NOTE: This does not work for the higher-stakes final exams where the item feedback report is disabled for the students by design.
Thank you!

Faire une interface simple
Ce serait bien de faire une interface qui soit moins usine à gaz :
J'ai besoin : d'ajouter facilement un élève, de créer facilement un cours, d'activer facilement les examens, de faire facilement le suivi du niveau des élèves...Tout le reste est superflu...
L'interface actuelle est bien trop complexe, trop peu intuitive et bien peu ergonomique.
L'ancienne interface était usine à gaz. La nouvelle n'est pas mieux. Dommage.

When will the new Cisco file sharing site be fixed so teachers will use it?
There appears to be two different locations in the new file sharing site to upload and download files for Routing and Switching. Which one should we use?
https://www.netacad.com/group/communities/ccna-files
https://www.netacad.com/group/communities/ccna-routing-and-switching-curriculumUploading files seems to take more work with fewer options. For example; there is no way to add chapter folders to the site so everything will be placed in a single semester folder.
The single folder option might be OK if the search engine worked. It still doesn’t!
Once files are loaded all the information (Icon, Filename, and description) appears in a single narrow column, making it difficult to look through.…

Improve search functionality for ASCs
When searching for an ASC under the Manage Tab-->Manage ASC relationships, the search function takes into account capitalization e.g. axis brings up zero results while AXIS bring up AXIS Progressive Development. Capitalization should not play a role in search

Help students & teachers find, complete, & grade ALL lab questions.
A problem with grading lab (Word) documents is two-fold. First, students miss questions they should answer. It's very easy to overlook a lonely question buried in the middle of screenshots and lots of informational text. I don't like to count off for that, and I don't want to ask students to finish it and have to grade it again. Perhaps questions can be put into a table format (see attached).
Second, and related to the first, is that when grading, it is very difficult as the grading teacher to also browse documents to find the question/answers. At first I pleaded…

Allow deletion of comments in the ASC profile page.
When creating the profile for my ASC, I inadvertently started registering information in a comment box. I later realized my mistake and created the profile in the proper section. Unfortunately, the initial comment created can't be deleted now. It would be good to allow the owner deletion of comments in this section.
1 voteHi Norma,
Your comment has been removed. We can remove any comments that are offensive or “accidental” but the comments are there for academies to provide public feedback about ASCs and ITCs and the services and training that they offer. For this feedback to remain valid, we can’t allow ASCs or ITCs to manipulate the responses.
Thank you,

Display current month's calendar for start date when creating a class
When creating a course in NetSpace you can click on the calendar to select a start date. For some reason it always comes up with the next month's calendar and not the current months. Is it possible to change this so the current month comes up for the Start Date?

Update the CCNA BOOKS!
Even though it is good to get a book with paid class tuition; the CCNA books are really not worth much…
I’ve had student after student make comments about the lack of substance in them; no diagrams, continual referral to the online content and no CD.
CISCO needs to bring the books up to speed to at least as good as the previous CCNA curriculum.

I apologize for your frustration. Please provide your feedback to http://www.ciscopress.com/ and they should be able to assist you.

Records of past exam activations.
I would like to check if I (as an instructor) activated an exam for a student in the past. If a chapter exam was a homework assignment and the student never took the chapter exam, I would like to verify that the chapter exam was active, listing the start time and date and end time and date.
5 votesHi Todd,
Thank you for your post. Here are the steps to view past exam activations:1. Select Activation Tool, then Manage Activations.
2. From there, you should see both a Current Activations tab and an Expired Activations tab.
3. Click Expired Activations. You will see the start and end date and time of the activations.
4. Select the exam.
5. Select Students.Activation Tool Tutorials are also available here: https://www.netacad.com/group/program/faqs-and-tutorials. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Activation of assessment for CCNA Security course
to have an activation tool for more than one assessment
1 voteHi again!
We just tested this and the Activation Tool is available in the course we created and we were able to batch activate all of the exams. There may have been something happening when the course was created, I’m not sure. My suggestion is to try to create another CCNA Security course to see if the Activation Tool is there. If it isn’t, please let me know.
Thank you!

Responder los correos electronicos directamente desde la notificación recibida
Tanto a alumnos como a instructores nos llega una notificación a nuestro correo electrónico cuando recibimos un mensaje en Canvas. Para responderlos debemos ingresar a www.netacad.com e ingresar en algún curso para ver el link de la bandeja de mensajes y responder. ¿Qué tal si se pudiera responder directamente desde el correo electrónico donde somos notificados?. Es algo similar a lo que tiene Facebook cuando recibimos una notificación en nuestro correo electrónico sobre alguien que comentó sobre algo que publicamos, respondiendo a ese correo podemos agregar un comentario sin necesidad de entrar a www.facebook.com. A eso me refiero, algo…

Fix the Inbox Messaging
Please fix the messaging systems so that when I have mulitple different messages to send I don't either have to remember to completely close the Messaging page after sending each message, and then come back to it.
I need to do this because it will only allow me to send one message - when I try to send another message in the same session it fails and I lose the message completely and I have to open anew message session and re-type itthanks
