The Cisco website can be made more usable.Topic contents and links can be more up-to-date and active.
I came across some interesting errors on the website.I think the website, links and materials in the course need to be updated.

Activities, tasks and practices (interaction with the student)
It's crucial to provide students with more challenging opportunities and access to one or more services for experimenting with programming, cybersecurity, networks, systems, and more. While current activities are beneficial, many are quite simple or overly repetitive. This might be understandable if the subjects were genuinely complex, but often they're the opposite. For instance, questions like 'What's the purpose of cybersecurity?' have straightforward answers like 'Protecting systems, networks, files, and data from unauthorized access.'
It would be better to engage in competitions within a virtual machine environment that simulates defending against or launching controlled attacks, offering a more realistic experience…

Import of data is slow
At the beginning of NetAcad, the import function of data (csv) was slow (several minutes for 50 records). Last year the import function was fixed and it only took seconds to import data. Now after the update on June 23, 2024, the old error is back and the import takes minutes.

If you have any issues importing please contact the Support Desk. Sometimes the Platform Team needs to make updates to ensure imports and exports are able to be done efficiently.

Improving the Cisco Networking Academy can be approached from various angles, focusing on curriculum enhancement, student engagement, and support for instructors. Here are some ideas:
Curriculum Enhancement
• Up-to-Date Content: Regularly update the curriculum to include the latest technologies and industry trends, such as advancements in 5G, IoT, AI, and cybersecurity.
• Hands-On Labs: Increase the number of practical, hands-on labs and simulations using tools like Cisco Packet Tracer to enhance experiential learning.
• Specializations: Offer more specialized courses or tracks within the academy for emerging fields like cloud computing, data center technologies, and network automation.
• Soft Skills: Integrate…

Choose date/time deadline for quizzes in Linux Essentials
Please let us choose a day/time for a Linux Essentials quiz to be due instead of only allowing us to activate the quiz for a certain number of hours. I want the quiz to be due at 11:59pm this Tue.. Why do I have to do math to figure out how many hours and minutes the quiz should be open? No other LMS I've seen has this "feature".

Individual Exams for Each Chapter in CCNA courses
Please switch CCNA: Intro to Networks, SRWE, and ENSA to individual chapter exams rather than combining 3 to 4 chapters in one large exam. It's just too much for most high school students to handle.

Modify NETACAD Default Activation
So there is one less setup that has to be performed for a new class, modify the default activation setting for "All" Practice Exams. These exams are for the students to familiarize themselves with course topics by launching the exams "without" the instructor having to activate the these exams for all students. The Practice Exam grades are not a part of the grade computation so they should be activated all term. For those instructors that prefer them not to be activated, let them de-activate them. Please consider. Thank you.
7 votesThank you for your idea. At this time we will not be able to implement your suggestion. The final exams require activation to prevent premature assessment item exposure to students.

Improve Assessment Process
Am I the only instructor who has to redo assessments in NETACAD over and over again due to the missing logic in the implementation? I have reported this multiple times over the last year and a half without acknowledgment that it will be put on the to-do list for future version. You see, the logic was never thought through sufficiently enough to anticipate oversights and keying errors, not only by this instructor, but maybe others as well, when activating Exams. Having to correct these errors by deactivating students and going through the settings subsequent times to be sure further oversights…

The assessment process is something that will be evaluated as we move towards convergence with Skills for All. I encourage you to review the following page: https://www.netacad.com/portal/news/i/coming-instructor-led-functionality-evaluation-phases
We welcome participation when the new Instructor-Led courses launch in Skills for All towards the end of April. You will also see a place to provide feedback on this page.
