Integrate hypervisor
Hello!
Wish everyone's fine! :-)
I had this idea I wanted to share with you guys.
Why we don't integrate an hypervisor for OS installation & troubleshooting while we learn about Operating Systems in IT Essentials course, and test every knowledge without leaving NetAcad?1 voteThanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately we will not be able to implement your idea at this time.

Import forum
Sometimes there is a need to continue forum conversations from one course to another (with the same students).
For example, students start a forum conversation in an Introduction to IoT course and (for academic reasons) they need to continue their conversations in Fundamentals of IoT course.
At this time forums cannot be imported from another course.

Enable drag and drop assignment due dates like Canvas
In the previous Canvas system, you could drag assignments to a GUI calendar to set due dates. Now, you have to click a minimum of 4-5 clicks deep on every assignment to set due dates. Setting due dates in this way is extremely cumbersome. An easier method to set due dates on assignments is needed.

Thank you for the suggestion. We are looking into integration directly with institutions’s Single Sign On and LMS tools. We do not have a specific timeframe on when this will be available. Please keep an eye on the News and Announcements for more information.

Export Moodle courses
I used to be able to take multiple Cisco courses and import them into one so that students would flow from beginning to end without the need to go from course to course. And since I teach Cybersecurity, not all of my curriculum comes from Cisco. I am able to integrate all of my other vendors into my Canvas LMS. Much like the current Python Essentials is integrated from an external platform. I would like the ability to export courses to import them into my main LMS or even the ability to join courses together.

New Environment - Text Too small
Unless I am missing how I can affect the font size, I find the small area left for the actual training materials very small. Too much area if given to the platform.

Improve process for reviewing quizzes in new LMS
Reviewing quizzes in the new LMS is clunky and inefficient at best.
I really wanted to create surveys with multiple choice questions and link those to an assignment, as I was able to do in Canvas but that seems to be completely impossible in the new LMS. So, in order to assign points so students could receive credit for completing a first day of class survey, I had to create a graded quiz in order to use multiple choice questions. Multiple choice questions don't allow me to indicate that any answer is satisfactory, since I am really collecting information about…1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Assessment Center: Add option 'Up to End of the week/month' to the time selector
We often activate the exams up to the 'End of ...' the week or the month. We will appreciate a shortcut to do it.

Moodle - add Activ Quiz plugin
Instructor will be able to offer in class quizzes on any device using a responsive theme, any question type from the question bank, use timed/not timed questions, grades reported back to the grade book, group quizzing (with a group attendance feature), view student responses in real time to offer in-class discussion about the results, and more!

Add menu option for moving new topics to desired location
I really like the ability in the legacy experience to be able to click the ellipsis dots to move a section above or below another section. Dragging and dropping sections to get the desired order is inefficient and a drag. I am disappointed to see that the new LMS only allows dragging and dropping, which is a guess by golly experience.

Ease of Use-Snapping to Module I Last Used
Under the old Netacad when I clicked on Modules I would be taken to the last module I was working on. This saved me time scrolling down in later weeks.
Under the new system it does not seem to do that. So if I have 16 weeks of modules on the home page, complete with assignments and additional resources, I must scroll down to see them each time I leave the home page and return.
Can this be looked at?
Thank you for your time.

Create a single Gradebook weighting category for the chapter exams in New Experience
This has always been included in Legacy, as seen under "Assignments" and wasn't carried over to New Experience. This creates a number of additional steps that have to be performed in every new class to recreate the Legacy gradebook weightings.

Give us the option to not require Course Feedback in New Experience
This was always an option in Legacy. Mandating Netacad feedback for every course to take the final exam causes ongoing confusion between our own institution's course feedback and Netacad's course feedback, ultimately hurting our own institution's ability to get course feedback, because students already think they did our course feedback, when they did Netacad's course feedback, or they just don't want to do two course feedbacks for the same course.

Add activity /resource for direct access to content and or exam
Would it be possiable to create activity/ resource we can use to access specific places in the curriculum, or exam that would handle the
authenticaton to the external content/assessment servers?Currently student have to use the existing pre-built link and authenticate before the direct links will work

Renaming links or sections in the "Activities" block (top right corner)
Ask #1: Build functionality to be able to rename the links in the "Activities" block! It looks like the link for "External Tools" is actually all my students need to access, and it has nothing to do with anything external (nonsense naming). If I could rename it to be more useful.
Ask #2: Build in functionality to HIDE the "Activities" block all together. It is confusing when some sections show up (like "Quizzes") but others do not (like "Exams"). There is no control over what shows up and what doesn't.

Hiding Gradebook completely from Student View
In the "New Experience" platform you cannot "HIDE" the gradebook icon/section from Student view, even after going through the process of "turning on editing" in the Gradebook and going to the "Setup" tab. Then I chose under the "Actions" column for the entire section and changed it to "Hide", saved changes and then went into the "Student View". The grade section is still showing up. See Screenshot attached.
For college who use a separate eLearning platform and Netacad is a supplement for selected content, labs, and exams, This is crucial as not to cause confusion for the students. I have…
