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

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 enabled the Networking Academy to even more aggressively pursue our mission to empower teaching and learning in every corner of the world. For these reasons, the Networking Academy has no plans to roll back the course management experience.
