Three Enhancement Requests on the User Profile in PT Assignments
I require students to enter their name in the User Profile and the date in the Additional Info field for PT assignments. In some cases the User Profile window does not pop up automatically so I provide what I call "Initial Guidance" on how to do this. It would be nice it was always displayed the first time they launch the PT.
Second, in some cases, when they enter their name in the User Profile, the PT assignment is not resetting to 0. This means they could share their work, have the beneficiary simply change the name and be done…

Thank you for posting. We are looking into the 3rd item, user information and how to display this differently. They are hoping to have this in the next version of Packet Tracer.

filing bugreports should be easier
1.
Filing a bugreport against a curriculum is too cumbersome. You have to take these steps:
a. Go to the ? Icon
b. Click "NetAcad Support"
c. Go through the chat bot? I do not want to talk to a robot first. Then, you will be asked if your question was answered, and if you say "no" you should get a link to "contact the Support Desk"
d. Fill out the subject and description above the live chat button, and click "Create Ticket". But you cannot immediately add a screenshot/picture/attachment?2.
You could also email at netacadsupport@netacad.com, should you…4 votesThanks for your suggestion. We will keep your idea for future implementation.

fix the Last Login message
Not only is the date format wrong (9/12/2022 for September 12), and the time format (23:09 PM?), there is zero security benefit showing me the time I just logged in instead of the previous time.
Please make sure your platform is properly internationalized and show the previous log in time rather than the current one!

Reinstate the build-a-switch-and-router-network.pksz Tutorial
The tutorial PT file build-a-switch-and-router-network.pksz was in CCNA1 version 7.01, but seems to have not been included in the version 7.02 curriculum. I enjoyed using this in class for students to practice basic configuration skills.

Student Accommodations
I may have missed this, but we are required to allow students certain accommodations in class. (Professors: The accommodations outlined are not optional and must be provided under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504; and the Americans with Disabilities Act.) This is usually in the way of additional time on exams. Time-and-a-half or double-time are the most common.
I cannot find any way to do this in NetAcad.
There should be a way to allow this per student, which applies to all exams in a course.

Instructors have the ability to change the length of time a student has to take an assessment by using the Advanced Activation feature. You can also create an activation profile to set up an exam duration.

Bugs in the configuration
My name is Hichem GHARBI, certified CCNA CISCO instructor. I am using the python course on this platform. I would like to raise two points:
1- Although I configure the hidden Test Summary for students, it continues to appear for them.
2- For examples in the course, it would be better to use shorter variable names.
Best regards.1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Activar visualización de cursos que está llevando un participante
Sugiero añadir la opción de buscar y visualizar los cursos que lleva un participante (por su nombre de usuario o correo), pero estando como administrador de la plataforma, ya que esto solamente sale activo cuando se encuentra uno como instructor, pero es de mucha ayuda como administrador tener acceso a esta herramienta.

Bring back ITE pretest
Is there any chance that the curriculum development team will bring back the pre-test in the ITEv8 course? It was an extremely helpful tool and really gave the kids a chance to see how they did over the course of a school year. (Also kept admin happy because we had numbers to crunch.)

ENSA practice final time available
Why limit the activation period to 7 days the practice final exam. I like to release it at mid semester so students can start preparing and having to activate every 7 days is aggravating. I understand (do not necessarily agree) with the time limit on final exam.
Suggestion is expand to 90 days.

SELECCIÓN DE ESTUDIANTES CON NOTA SUPERIOR
Sería necesario que en el grade se pueda seleccionar a los estudiantes que obtuvieron la nota igual o superior a 70 para poder obtener el certificado ya que cuando el grupo es muy grande se tiene que ir uno por uno indicando que concluyó o completó el curso bien

Academy Success Dashboard
Hello, I want to see my statistical data about the course as an administrator in the academy. i used to be able to see this data from admin page. I don't know where to look now.
All requests are processed in the order they are received. We will respond as quickly as possible.
some data I want to see as an administrator; my course achievements by years, my student achievements, academy success comparison by years, etc.

Drag and drop to assign due dates
I saw this was mentioned before, along with bulk editing due dates and it was marked as "Unable to do at this time".
I would just like to suggest it again to get it back on the radar since the new LMS has been in place for a while now.

Please make "Instructor Must Approve Additional Attempts" as configurable option (again)
Please make "Instructor Must Approve Additional Attempts" as configurable option for final chapter (1-9, 10-14, 1-14) exams, e.g. IT Essentials course but may apply also for other courses. It was so earlier times (e.g. 2021 spring). Now is serious regression and makes a lot of hassle for students and instructor. Had chat conversation with your support and only reason was enforced "Secured Activations". I would say, that such enforcement does not increase security in no way but will cause lots of issues. As students can do these exams up to 7 days, thay all do that in own time. Then…

Student Password reset required
Students can use the forgot password option if they need a password reset. However, in Networking Academies which as schools, working With 13-16 year olds, it would be extremely helpful if instructors (teachers) could have an option to trigger a password reset for the students. When a class is mid-flow, waiting for the student to sort out their password can be painfully slow, so giving the teacher the option to start that process would speed up things significantly. Please can we have this.
