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…

PT Passwords should be in netacad, not in the community forum
An instructor asked where the password for PT activities for IT-E was, and I didn't know. Turns out it is in the Community Forum, but you have to search for it.
This seems a bit weird. Why would the community have the password? It seems to me it should be where instructors can easily access it.thanks so much

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 ·AdminSandra Ray

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

Replace CCNA Sec
This is from on of our supported academies:
Since CCNA Security is going away as a certification, are there any plans to develop an alternate security-focused course aside from Cyberops? I would love to see Netacad offer 300-701, the CCNP Security Core. That way, we can replace the CCNA security with the Security Core course and students can still earn a Specialist designation and/or go on to earn a CCNP-Security.
Thanks,

Show an incomplete in the gradebook for any student currently taking a assessment.
If a student enrolled in another section after assessments are created, it is required that all of their assessments be deactivated in the 1st course before they can be activated in the new course. A bulk deactivation would be the easy fix, but it jeopardizes students who may be currently taking an assessment. Individually deactivating the students assessments is too cumbersome.

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.

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).

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. The Curriculum and Assessment team are reviewing all resources and asking for more to be added under the Course Resource section. Some items such as labs and PKAs will only be available through the course going forward.
