   Improving the Cisco Networking Academy can be approached from various angles, focusing on curriculum enhancement, student engagement, and support for instructors. Here are some ideas:

   1. Curriculum Enhancement

      • Up-to-Date Content: Regularly update the curriculum to include the latest technologies and industry trends, such as advancements in 5G, IoT, AI, and cybersecurity.
      • Hands-On Labs: Increase the number of practical, hands-on labs and simulations using tools like Cisco Packet Tracer to enhance experiential learning.
      • Specializations: Offer more specialized courses or tracks within the academy for emerging fields like cloud computing, data center technologies, and network automation.
      • Soft Skills: Integrate soft skills training (communication, teamwork, problem-solving) to prepare students for the workforce.

   2. Student Engagement

      • Gamification: Incorporate gamified elements like leaderboards, badges, and challenges to make learning more engaging and motivating.
      • Hackathons and Competitions: Organize regular hackathons, coding competitions, and network design challenges to encourage practical application of skills.
      • Community Building: Create a stronger online community where students can interact, share projects, and collaborate on assignments.
      • Career Support: Provide more career guidance, job placement services, and internship opportunities in collaboration with industry partners.

   3. Instructor Support

      • Professional Development: Offer regular training and professional development opportunities for instructors to stay current with industry advancements and teaching methodologies.
      • Resource Sharing: Develop a platform for instructors to share teaching resources, best practices, and success stories.
      • Feedback Mechanism: Implement a robust feedback system where instructors can suggest improvements to the curriculum and teaching tools.

   4. Technological Integration

      • AI and Analytics: Use AI-driven analytics to track student progress and tailor educational content to individual learning needs.
      • Virtual and Augmented Reality: Integrate VR and AR technologies for immersive learning experiences, especially in complex network configuration scenarios.
      • Mobile Learning: Develop a mobile app to allow students to access course materials, participate in discussions, and complete assignments on the go.

3. Learning interface

   After the site update, the learning interface has become very small. I don't know if it can be made full screen, I haven't checked, but personally, I don't like studying that way because I take notes and it's distracting to switch between different windows in full screen mode. If that feature even exists. In my opinion, there are an incredible number of unnecessary things on the site. Here are a few examples (also marked in the attached images). The main menu bar continuously takes up space on the page. Why? It's completely useless for studying. Wouldn't it be better if it disappeared when scrolling down? There's completely wasted space on both sides. I understand that two windows slide in there, but couldn't they have been placed in a separate menu somewhere? If I'm not interested in them, both sides are just empty space. Please don't leave the site like this. I used to love studying here, but this new design has really dampened my enthusiasm. Studying on your site has become very, very unpleasant.

   Thank you for posting to Share Idea.  You can hide the bar on the left my clicking on the three line icon.  You can also open the Curriculum in a new tab (sometimes it will automatically open in a new tab) and that will remove the top header bar.

   
   

   Also, as previously announced, Netacad.com and SkillsforAll.com will be merging in August.  New classes will be available in a new Platform and will have additional ways to remove some of that extra space.

7. Activities, tasks and practices (interaction with the student)

   It's crucial to provide students with more challenging opportunities and access to one or more services for experimenting with programming, cybersecurity, networks, systems, and more. While current activities are beneficial, many are quite simple or overly repetitive. This might be understandable if the subjects were genuinely complex, but often they're the opposite. For instance, questions like 'What's the purpose of cybersecurity?' have straightforward answers like 'Protecting systems, networks, files, and data from unauthorized access.'

   It would be better to engage in competitions within a virtual machine environment that simulates defending against or launching controlled attacks, offering a more realistic experience to apply theoretical knowledge.

   In networking, I'd appreciate more detailed examples and projects with thorough monitoring. For programming, assessments should include basic, intermediate, and advanced projects based on the level of study or achievement. Regarding systems (Linux), more hands-on practice in each section would be beneficial, transitioning from theoretical learning to practical application, encouraging constant use of terminals, bash, and commands in general.

8. Be able to Remove a Student from Completing in the gradebook

   Why is it no longer possible to remove a completion status for a student? What happened to the option to undo the action of completing a student in the gradebook?
   When you check a student's box it is forever. You should have a "save" button, so you can make sure the correct students are selected.

   Every time you select a box the page resets. This was the cause of my error. I have over 30 students in the class and every time I check a box the page refreshes to the start of the page.
