Block, lock Students
In the old system, I was able to block students so that they were still in a course but no longer received any activation. I don't want to delete the student from the course, just block it from activities.

NETACAD Grade Book Grading Procedure
My grade book screen displays don't lend themselves to easy manipulation when grading 20+ students and 10+ lab assignments. There doesn't seem to be a documented procedure to isolate a screen full of students and be able to see a slider bar at the bottom and simultaneously the headings at the top for some number of columns. I would think instructors would prefer to see sections of the grade book both horizontally and vertically when grading assignments for students. Would like to have both controls on the screen to see student names and assignment names without having to scroll up…

I know the course is self-paced learning experience but I think it is a good option to add Instructor PowerPoints for this course. especially for us who are in countries not native English speakers. Thank you.

Badges for all OpenEDG Programming Courses.
I think our students makes an enormous efforts to complete Courses like PCAP, CPA, CPP. so I believe they deserve to get a digital Badge as a reward. and on the other hand this idea will increase the marketing for these courses.

Thank you for the suggestion. We have already started working on adding badges for Python in the new Platform Skills for All. As we continue to converge with this platform over the next year, we will continue to look at adding additional badges when possible to these courses.

Create Calendar Entries from Entered Assignments
Support Staff advised that the NETACAD calendar must be populated manually. I had a preconceived notion that the Assignments section would transfer/copy the entries into the NETACAD calendar. This capability would lessen human intervention and potential errors.

Teacher Approval to not reload page
Hello,
Would there be a way to not not let the Teacher Approval on the Course Completion page reload for every student checked? For example, have a button at the bottom that would submit all checked at the same time?
Thanks!

customize activation beginning time while using preconfigured activation profile(s)
Please allow to customize activation beginning time while using preconfigured activation profile(s). Currently it takes only current time and puts it as beginning time. Therefore I usually cannot use Default Activation as it does not allow customize beginning time.

multiple activation profiles
Please allow create multiple activation profiles. Currently only one is possible but several different exams can be done. Would be useful to create appropriate activation profiles also. Besides, when changed activation profile time window to 7 days, then when tried to create new activation with using previously changed activation profile, it took 1 day less than 7 days and could not change it. Only when did not use activation profile, I could choose 7 days. Used Advanced Activation choice as this gave an option to choose different starting time than current.

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…

Students are not receiving welcome NetAcad emails and cannot create their account.

Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We are unable to make changes at this time to the Gradebook. There are a few options you can use:
1) The First Name and Surname sections can be used to narrow the Gradebook list
2) The "Grade History" section can be used to view a single student and there is a search feature there
3) Exporting the Gradebook can sometimes help to sort by the columns you want

Syntax Checker
I would like to require students to complete the Syntax Checker activities during class and I go around check them. Is there a way to make a message appear after a Syntax Checker is completed indicated whether the student clicked the "Show" or "Show All" button? This would indicate they didn't actual complete it on their own.
