    Jawid, you will be able to use the ‘Inbox’ feature on the course home page. From here you will be able to select a particular course you want to send a message to. The students will receive the message in their course inbox and will also receive it in their email as long as they have the notification preference set to receive notifications and messages to their email.

    To check the notification preferences, they will go to their NetAcad Profile page and click on the link “Change Classroom Notifications”.

  3. adding grading periods

    Regular Canvas has a feature that allows for adding grading periods that can line up with 9 weeks grades. It would be good to have in the Cisco Academy as well. Especially for those of us who have High School Students.

  6. Managing activations with CSV

    I manage all my classes from a MsOffice application of mine.
    Even if I already can create and edit classes and populate students by 1-clic in my excel sheets, I need more integration with Netacad.com.

    I would like to integrate tests activations --> It could be very easier by exchanging CSV file, like with students lists.

    Would you plan it? Many thanks

  7. Post a Netspace Alert

    Is there a way to get an Alert message put up on the NetSpace page stating that there is an issue with PT Assessments and Cisco is workingon a fix? That would be helpful I think. They could then put up a message once the repair has been made.

    Andrew, thank you for the feedback. Generally alerts on the NetAcad Home page are used for issues that affect all NetAcad Users. Since not all users are affected by the PT issues, we have not posted an alert but rather put a notice in the Communities section.

  8. Enrollment data should populate from registration table. example, email adress

    Fields should populate enrollment data from registration table.
    It is painful populating the same data over and over.

    Deb, you should only have to enter in all their information the first time you enroll them (when first creating their NetAcad account), after that you can use the ‘Add Existing’ feature to re-enroll without having to enter all their information again. You can refer to the FAQs and Tutorials page for video tutorials on how to enroll existing students.

  9. Make the comment field of Gradebook visible on export too.

    If the optional Comment field on the grade book was exported also I could use it to sort my students by the section they are in making transfer of grades to the school system much easier. The Comment field already exists just not on export

    John, thank you for the feedback. By default the ‘Randomize Items’ is selected for exams, if you have multiple forms selected with ‘Randomize Items’ checked then students will receive random forms and the items will be randomized also.

    Thank you for the feedback, currently Instructor’s accounts remain active. As long as they have the Instructor role at an academy they are able to create courses. If the Instructor role is removed than their ability to create courses is removed, however, they can still use their account to be enrolled in courses and continued learning.

  18. Chapter Quizzes bilingual by default when the Curriculum and the Chapter Exams are bilingual

    Hi,
    I have created a course in Spanish, and my students have the possibility of studing the Curriculum either in Spanish or in English by default.
    Also, when it comes to take Chapter Exams, they can choose either Spanish or English by default as well.
    I encourage them to take it in English, although I think it is good for them to have the final word about the language they prefer.

    But the thing is that the Chapter Quizzes are not in Spanish and English by default, and in order to get it, you have to create a new course…

  19. Competency Based Learning

    Would love to create dependencies on exams to provide CBL.
    Students have the option to take an "Entrance Exam" for a series of modules... Exam Modules 1-8. If the student Passes (85% or above let's say) the "Entrance Exam", the student would have the option to
    keep the exam grade in lieu of going through Modules 1-8 and their exams. Should the student choose not to accept the "Entrance Exam score" the student would be required to go through Module 1-8 materials and Exams and whatever the end grade of those will be it.

    For example:
    Linux Essentials
    "Competency 1…

    When you go into the ‘Modules’ folder they are by default divided into Chapter Groups. You will have the ability to lock modules or create prerequisites for each module as you have described. Although dependencies cannot be created specifically for exams, you can place that exam in a specific module with a specific prerequisite.

  20. Security curriculum download

    Please make the security curriculum available for download. Having a local copy of the curriculum is faster for our students to access and we do not have to manage (as much) around outages!
