Option to NOT Create NEW accounts on bulk import.
Suggestion for Management.
When you upload a CSV (Course Add Students) can you ADD a CHECK BOX that says "DO NOT CREATE NEW ACCOUNTS" when there is no match.
If the student e-mail has changed at our institution but not updated on NetAcad, the new e-mail address automatically (in the CSV) creates a NEW account!
Problem: Then the student CAN NOT change their correct account e-mail as it shows as used by the NEW (created in error) account.

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?

Show Due Dates for All Activities
When scheduling Exams in ITE, the dates are not visible on the Course Home page. This would be especially useful since these dates do not show in the calendar either. So basically, there is no way to see due dates in the modules, you must use another source like a pdf or printed calendar.

Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We are unable to implement changes to the way due dates appear for exams in the course at this time. We encourage you to manually add due dates to the calendar. We will be looking into this for future releases.

Allow customized due dates for each activity by student in new experience courses
I would like to have the ability to add customized due dates for each student in a course for each activity or assignment. This was possible in the legacy experience.

Grade Column under Assignments Link
I have contacted Moodle and they have told me that once logged into a course there is an “Activities box” in the upper right corner and inside of that there is an “Assignments link”. I use that Assignments Link regularly for grading the assignments.
Moodle told me that there are Submission and Grade columns at the far right. I see those as well. The Submission column shows the number of assignments that have been submitted. Moodle says that their system also shows how many submissions have been graded or are left to grade in the “Grade” column as well.

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…

It would be great to include in the course options the Chat one.
I see this option in other courses in Netacad, like the Devnet GTM.Thank you

Packet tracer Autograder
Having a tool that scan a folder for PKA files and pull the user profile and completion percentage out would be a huge asset for instructors!

Speed up access to the curriculum
What do you think about accessing the course with only one clic on the picture instead of 3 clics and intermediary screens?

Students are allowed to see the correct answers everywhere. This requires additional time from the instructor to turn off it.

LTI Integration
• The benefit of the LTI integration is grades automatically come over to the LMS so grading is a snap - very important when you have hundreds of students taking the course each session.
• In addition, with SSO (single-sign on) and deep links, students can login to our LMS and then we would automatically push their credentials over to Cisco and log them in automatically - all in one click.
• Finally, if Cisco could provide deep links, we could can "gate" the Cisco resources we want the students to access and only allow them to see what is…11 votesArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We are investigating the possibilities of integrating with other LMS systems and using SSO. We do not have any specific time frames on when these will be added. Please watch the News and Announcement area for more information.

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…

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.

Module Exams Do Not Show on Calendar
When Module Exams (Modules 1-3, Module 4-7, etc.) are scheduled they should show up in the course calendar. Currently they do not. I have been telling students to keep an eye on the calendar due dates but it exams don't show there, how can they know to do them.

Figure out some way to include module numbers covered by assessments in CCNA courses when activating assessments
What's old is new again. This popular request was denied without an explanation so it's being resubmitted. If you're not going to do this the instructor community which is wasting time because of bad UI should get more of an explanation than "we aren't going to do this at this time". If you truly do not care about the time being wasted by instructors please say so.

Since version 7.0 of the CCNA courses came out the module numbers do not show on the assessment server pages (create and manage activations). The assessments do not appear in any order…

Thank you for the suggestion. We have researched this and we are unable to implement. We recommend users activate exams from the links in main page for assessments. This will show the exam name at the top of the page including the module numbers as opposed to using the Assessment Center.

Can we have a turn editing off/on button at the bottom of the page too?
Usability issue: having a button at the top and bottom of the page would make editing easier.
