Allow to edit user info
It would be convinient to edit user information, such email and names. Some people loses their email accounts...
6 votesIIya, due to legal concerns we can only allow users to edit their own names and email addresses. However, as an instructor if a student loses their password or forgets their username you can go to the course info page (click on the gear icon next to the course name) and in the student section view the student’s user name and reset their password. Hope that helps.

Should I go for CCNA SEC with no networking work experience?
Hello Friends,
I have a CCNA R&S and 8 months at a help desk type role with no access to the routers and switches. I have physical access to check for cabling issues or whatever but if I suspect a port is down or need a vlan changed I have to call someone to do it. I think my lacking experience and lacking a degree is holding me back from finding a more networky gig. I know this question has come up in regards to CCNP and the general consensus I've seen is not to do it till you have…

Thank you for your interest in how to move forward with your career. This forum is used for the Cisco Networking Academy program for Instructors to submit ideas for improvement. As for the best direction for you to take I am not the best one to give a recommendation for your career; however, I can tell you both CCNA Security and CCNP courses are available through the Cisco Networking Academy Program.

Thank you for the information. Cisco is currently looking at resources to connect employers to students. Currently they are using Talent Bridge in the United States. They are hoping to expand this to more areas in the future. Please note: The system will never Automatically allow employers to see student information without them signing up due to privacy reasons.

Re-enabling incomplete assessments
I had 14 students taking a final theory test for CCNP ROUTE and a couple of them finished the test but could not submit their answers. Clicking on the submit did nothing and the only option I had was to re-enable the test. When they refreshed their screen, they lost all of their answers. Should it not instead just allowed them to continue from where they left off?
If not, what other options are there to deal with situations where due to system, network or browser error the student is unable to submit an exam?
Thank you.
1 voteHi Munther,
Thank you for reaching out.
Here are a couple of suggestions, please ensure there are not multiple browser windows open and the students are using a supported browser.
If this happens again, please contact the Helpdesk immediately to log a ticket with the following information:
Course
User
Exam
Time Submitted but Failed
Browser/OS
How Much Time was Left on the Exam
Explain in more detail what: not being able to submit means. Did the Submit button not work? Did the Grade Assessment button not work? Did they get an error?It would actually be best if the exam is left un-submitted, so the problem can be worked on and determined if the database saved the answers and where the problem might be. If leaving it incomplete is possible, this would be better in troubleshooting.
Again, thank you for your comment and I apologize for the problems your students…

allow Instructors to set and share a pool of written exams at checkpoint ? Especially for ITE and ICS and CSE know cybersecurity?
This will break the cycle of multiple Choice that they take easily... If they got the training it shows in the responses given... And brings out any sections not understood well. It means instructors also to share 4th either oops if the same... Just for checkpoint evaluation.

More clear automatic notifications from NetAcad
Many activities done within a course generate a notification sent automatically from netacadnotifications@instructure.com.
Those notifications contains the course name but do not contain any reference to course ID and Academy name.
For those instructors / staff personnels who are serving many academies this is a mess...
Please add course ID and Academy name in any automatic notification/email sent by NeAcad.

As a academy instructor/manager i want to see all classes/courses particula student was enrolled
Periodically we need to review performance of the particular student at our academy, particularly which classes/courses he was enrolled, what's his grade, etc. Right now there is no such feature. Thus, as a netacade manager i want to have per-student analytics, such as:
- which classes/cources particual student was enrolled
- what's his summary grade in a particular class (pass/fail, % of the completion)1 voteClosed - Cold Storage ·AdminSandra Ray

translation
You are already making great efforts in translating the CCNA RS and other modules into other languages but if possible to what extent translate the CCNA in French for example and in other languages as well.
Basically it is to propose to you that any course be in all the languages1 vote -

Allow instructors to modify student order on the roster
When I ex[port gradebook data into a classroom management system, Cisco and the CMS do not always have students in the same order. this creates real issues making sure that data is transferring or posting properly. If I could re-order (persistently, if you please) the students as they appear in the Cisco gradebook, it would make life much simpler.

Assessment Center
Under Settings -> Navigation, Assessment Center can only be visible to the instructor if he/she moves it into the category where it is visible to the student. It actually isn't visible to the student if you move it here.
Please make Assessment Center visible to the instructor at all times.1 voteClosed - Cold Storage ·AdminSandra Ray

The Assessment Center is not visible to students by default when you create a course. You can test this by going to settings and clicking on the “Student View” link on the right side of the page.

Thank you for the feedback. You are correct, this option was available for a short time due to a discrepancy in the system. This has been corrected. You can still remove students from your course by clicking on the Edit link next to your course name after logging into Cisco NetAcad.
