Introduce Xapi
Hello,
in our university, we test the performance monitoring of our students (badges, ...) in the Learning Management System with the Xapi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_API). Will Netacad support these Xapi?
Best regards

Suggestions and Request
I would like to bring this to your attention that the current system ,the instructors cannot rest passwords for students as per the previous system the way it used to be.
And currently we have an outreach that we are carrying out,were we are dealing with the community who need our support and it’s in rural and some urban areas where internet and computers are still for sharing and some of the students are still computer illiterate . So I humbly request the developer and Cisco Technical Team to return THE RESET PASSWORD LINK FOR THE INSTUCTORS due to the…

How to show last and first names
Users' names should be shown in the format:
Lastname, FirstName
and should be sortable.
Right now users are shown in the format:
Firstname Lastname
and are not sortable
I'm referring to the "Course details" page and to the Gradebook, from "I'm Teaching" view, but also to Users page from "I'm managing".4 votesArchived ·

Packet Tracer Log in issue.
Thus, I am asking if it is possible for the NetAcad Support team to post something to the NetAcad alert page informing the CISCO NetAcad user community of the cause and solution to this PT log-in issue?
The instructor is unable to log into Netacad and this has had to go to the Netacad Tech team. They did tell him that he is not the only teacher with this issue /and there are students also

Link to messages on main page
There used to be a link to NetAcad's inbox when clicking my profile name. Now I need to load a course and then click inbox. Can a link be added to the "I'm learning"/"I'm teaching" page?

Submit Google Docs in Assignments
There used to be a way for students to submit Google Docs and Slides in the File Upload option of an assignment. I can no longer access this feature this year. Please add this feature back to the assignment interface.

Log in,
Hi
- Log in is being asked to many times post initial log in.
- Could Packet Tracer just open when launched from post log in Netacad.com? Now it is requesting log in again.
Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion.
Some improvements have been made for Packet Tracer 7.3. Individuals will not have to re-authenticate if they are logged in and taking a PTSA/PTMO exam.
They will take this type of feedback into consideration in the next release of Packet Tracer.

News and Events
The new "News and Events" menu has 3 sub-menus: Students, Instructors, Partners. Many times, the same news is tagged with more than one scope (Partners + Instructors, for example).
If I read that news under "Partners" and the news is published under more categories, it should be marked as read, automatically, also under "Instructors" and "Students".1 voteThanks for the suggestion. The system already works this way. However, sometimes marketing creates a similar looking article for the different audiences with different details.

Thank you for the suggestion. Students and Instructors have the ability to request the Letters of Merit. At this time there are no plans to make it required for instructors to approve allowing students to be able to request their own Letters of Merit.

Please let us decide the order for Course listing
I see other Ideas are there on this topic. I opened a course, which disappeared in the list of our 300+ courses, and I only can find it by searching its name. Please let us choose the list order, i.e. by alphabet, or by starting date, or by Academy, or by language, or by manifold criteria.

list of available courses to be created in alphabetical order
Hi,
I think it would be easier for us instructors to get the available new courses when creating a course in alphabetical order, as we could find a particular course much faster.1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We are working on implementing a better order of the courses in the create course wizard.
Please use the search box on the create course wizard to quickly find the course you want. -
cannot delete students
Dear Sirs,
after the transition to single-side-on there is no button under I'm Managing and then users to delete students anymore.2 votesArchived ·

Users can be removed from an academy from the “I’m Managing” tab. Click on “Edit Role” on the “Users” tab and remove all roles for a user. This will remove them from the academy.
