I suggest translating this course into Brazilian Portuguese.
There are groups of technical-level students who carry out research and soon become involved in the market, with the potential to use the material but who generally have a foreign language with the greatest barrier to participate in the course.

Integrate Cisco LMS with Canvas
If this isn't already available, I'd like to be able to import the IT Essentials v7 into our districts SSO Canvas integration.

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.

Link to individual modules
I would like to create a separate link from the course to each module. This was sort of possible in the "old" experience.

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 (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) responded

Allows learners to view correct answers after submitting Linux Essentials/Unhatched test
In the old system, learners can view the correct answers after they complete a test/exam in the Linux Essentials/Unhatched course. This is extremely useful for self-paced learners. Please bring back that feature.

Individual Chapter Exams
Periodic assessment is crucial to good instruction. Grouping the assessments into blocks of 4 chapters is less than optimal. Often, the content of those 4 chapters may cover multiple weeks on class time. Assessing student mastery that long after delivery is less valid. There should be an option for single chapter assessments.

Unproductive and counterintuitive
This is not an idea. I'm just expressing my frustration with the New Experience. This interface took away all my learning curve for the last 10 years. I don't know why it has to be so difficult to do my job as a Cisco instructor. I am very disappointed with New Experience. The design of New Experience is unproductive and counterintuitive. Please give me back the legacy Netacad. Thank you, Chun Yu

Thank you for submitting your feedback through the Share Idea button.
There are two key reasons that drove this choice:
1. It enables the Networking Academy to expand its global reach. To expand our global reach, the NetAcad platform is transitioning to a federated architecture with multiple instances located across the world.
2. It allows the Networking Academy to be more responsive to changing dynamics in education. One example of this is the integration of Webex video conferencing and messaging into the learning experience to support distance learning. By bringing the solution in-house, we have been able to aggressively pursue this opportunity and will be able to release some of the first fruits in the coming months.
There are other benefits to the new course management experience that are summarized in the news and announcements section in Cisco NetAcad, but the most salient driver of the decision is how it…

IT Essentials FastTrack Pretest
As we increase our remote learning classes and no end in sight with COVID-19 there is a need to do some pretests for IT Essentials Fast Track for instructor that claim they have a CompTIA A+ cert or sufficient knowledge to bypass the training. I proposes that IT Essentials be changed to allow an instructor candidate take the IT Essential Final without having to take the course feedback. Then move the feedback as a post-Final Test requirement in order to be accredited. That way if the instructor fails the test he has to take the training.

Thank you for the suggestion. As the instructor training requirement will be going removed at the end of August 2021, we will not be implementing any changes to IT Fast Track.

Allow for Extra Credit Assignments
In the legacy LMS, we could set the point value for an assignment to 0, which allowed creating optional, extra credit assignments. The new LMS requires a minimum point value of 1, which detracts from creating extra credit assignments.
Please change to allow setting point value of 0 when the instructor wants to create an entirely optional assignment that has no affect on student overall grade calculation of not completed/submitted.5 votesArchived ·AdminSandra Ray (Customer Support Director, or Executive, Cisco Networking Academy) responded
Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We will be adding some new FAQs later this week on the Gradebook. One of these FAQs will be about extra credit for assignments.

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.
