Prevent attempted fraud against submitted PT tasks (assessment)
Prevent attempted fraud against submitted PT tasks (assessment)
Problem: PT tasks can be copied by students and others can submit these tasks as assessment.
Solution: When starting the packet tracer, the user has to log in with his Netacad account.
The Netacad ID is saved in the solved PT task.
The student submit the PT file to the NetAcad system
The Activity Grader compares the student ID of the PT task with the submit account.
If there is a difference, there is an attempt to defraud.1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Thank you for the feedback. We will look to update the errata soon. The curriculum team gave me the following information:
the command output for the dns-server in the lab should be:
- assign the DNS server address as 2001:db8:acad::1 and the domain name as stateless.com
- Open configuration window
- R1# ipv6 dhcp pool R1-STATELESS
- R1# dns-server 2001:db8:acad::1
- R1# domain-name STATELESS.com -
Connect Cisco ONE with Clever for single sign on.
Many academic institutions already use some type of single sign on either with Google, O365, or Clever. Please allow students to connect their Net Acad profile (now Cisco One) with Clever.

Quiz scores as percents
Graded quiz scores are limited to being displayed as points. Give the instructor the choice to display them as percents. This will greatly reduce the time it takes to convert them from points to percents when exporting the canvas gradbook into the official grade book used by my school (Progress Book).

Add Linux Computer to Packet Tracer
In teaching Linux, several of my students especially in rural upstate NY, do not have the computer resources on their home computer to run Linux in a virtual box or some type of VM environment. If Linux desktop was in Packet Tracer, they could practice and do their homework at home. Red River was a presenter on the Northeast ASC prof development meeting today and the one technology he pointed out he heard teachers mention was Linux. He said Linux is important to know. I am seeing it as well especially on security audits that my students are doing on…
