Update lab images for Windows 10
Since Windows 7 is no longer going to be supported in 2020, a lot of schools are moving to Windows 10. The current labs for CCNA curriculum have images that are from Windows 7. A significant number of students are going to be lost when the lab images don't match what they see on their screens because they are using Windows 10 machines.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. CCNA curriculum will be updated with Windows 10 in the next course revision. We will ensure this is completed before the end of support for Windows 7.

Assessment answers need to have only one distinguishable correct answer
CCNA2 R&S - Chapter 4 exam has question regarding Layer 2 Switch functionality. Yet again there are two answers that contain two almost indistinguishable answers from each other.
"learns the port assigned to a host by examining the destination MAC address""determines which interface is used to forward a frame based on the destination MAC address"
All proper assessment models state that there should be only one distinguishable proper answer. Nearly every Cisco assessment contains at least one question that has two answers with slightly different wording that can be misinterpreted to mean the same thing. Incorrect answers should contain…

Get rid of forcing people to regularly update passwords
The NetAcademy password update policy follows poor security practices
Regular updates of passwords without being able to reuse an existing password leads to people choosing poor passwords as they need to be constantly reset
2 votesThank you for the suggestion. We are following Cisco’s password policy that is reviewed and updated on a regular basis.

problem to load packet tracer exams
It will be better if you (cisco) develop your own tools for the pachet tracer because many student find difficulties to load online packet tracer exams .
I configure java and flash player but most of computers can't load packet tracer exams. thank you very much.1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) responded
Thank you for the suggestion. The team is looking into alternatives for using Java with Packet Tracer assessments and flash is no longer required. Unfortunately we will not be able to remove Java from the packet tracer assessments in the next 6 months so we are archiving this idea.

View inactive users
Once a user has been deleted (due to the above reasons), the system shoudl not default back to page 1 of user list, but stay in its current location.
Already available: Users who have the NetAcad Lead role within their organization should have the ability have a list of students who's email are not verified, or have never logged to the system, so that database can be kept clean.

Sort Acadamy User list
Users who have the NetAcad Lead role within their organization should have the ability to sort the user list.

Thank you for the idea. We are not able to implement this suggestion at this time. However, NetAcad Contacts can export the user list to a CSV file. This would allow you to sort and filter the list as needed.

Improve Internal Server Error UX
In Chrome some students experienced an Internal Server Error when they navigated to the a specific page "assignments" like Chapter 1 exam.
Maybe it can be a cache related error but, because Netacad involves a lot of students, it could be more useful to catch the error in back end and give friendly information to the students.1 vote -

Use Netriders PT Skills as Advanced challenge labs in R&S courses
I teach Linux using the netacad.com LPI Linux Essentials course. Within the course are four challenge labs at the end of the modules.
Cisco is not running the Netriders competition this year, and seemingly has run Netriders for the last time.
What is the possibility Cisco would release the Netriders competition PT skills exams as advanced challenge labs within the R&S curriculum?

Disable option for students to use Canvas to email the INSTRUCTOR
I recently learned that the NetAcad contact has the option to disable Canvas email between students to deter cheating. But the students can still email the teacher. Most education institutions require the students to use their organization email address to keep official records of student/teacher correspondence. Recommend that the academy contact be allowed to disable the email option within Canvas completely. In my case this is presented to the students on day one through their Student Handbooks but students take the easier way out and still email me using canvas.

Thank you for the suggestion. We have talked to the Canvas team and this is an idea they have received outside of the Cisco environment. They do not have a lot of votes so the enhancement is not something they are able to implement at this time. They will keep this in mind for the future.

LMS Integration (e.g. Canvas LMS)
We are very interested in LMS Integration right into the Canvas LMS used at our University.
Some companies such as TestOut, Skillsoft Practice Labs and more integrate directly into the schools LMS - we use "Canvas" by Instructure and have employed deep links and LTI integrations to simplify the students and faculty access. The company TestOut also uses Canvas and I could not help but notice that Cisco uses Canvas as well. (Wondering if that would make the effort easy)
• The benefit of the LTI integration is grades automatically come over to the LMS so grading is a snap…

Add Students to existing activations
When students join the Class after I have made activations. I have to make extra activations for those students. It would be better if I can add those students to an existing activation.
