Order of Assignments in Home Page same in Gradebook
When you create an assignment, the assignment is placed randomly in the gradebook. It would be extremely helpful is the order of assigments in the Home page would be linked to the order of assignments in the Gradebook.

Need Report Showing When Students Submitted Assignments (14-Day Rule)
Need a report showing when students submitted assignments. We need to enforce a 14 day rule (federal guideline for financial aid... or something :) wherein if a student does not submit an assignment in a 14-day period, they are to be withdrawn from the course without exception (no excuse is considered valid). Currently, there is no quick and easy way to make this determination.

We recommend using the Academy Completion Report to show when work was completed. You can get to this report by following these steps:
1. Click “Launch Course”
2. Click the “Gear” icon at the top right of the page and select “More…”
3. Under “Reports”, click “Activity Completion”You can find more information about this report in the FAQ titled "What information is presented in the Activity Completion report?". In addition, once you are on the report page you can download the report to see the dates assignments were completed easier.

Provide overall usage stats for the platform
Most public libraries track and report usage on a monthly basis for their digital products. At the very least, we would like to see how many patrons connected to the platform (number of sessions) in a given month.
Since the platform was migrated to Moodle, we don't have any adequate metric to report.

The login TIMEOUT is too SHORT!!!
If I work on a course (i.e. ITE7) a full day, either for study or for teaching, I have to re-login at least 4-5 times, and this is very annoying. Can the login timeout be extended to at least 5-6 hours? Thanks. Marco

build back the old grouping system!
The momentary grouping system is a tragedy! In the old version it was totally easy to select a member and grab and drop into a group.
Now I have to select the group and roll up and down an unordered list of totally members of course.Please fprward my congratulation to the developer and tester teams!

New platform missing people (Participants) - my original was Archived for some reason.
From one of my supported Academies instructors: "The Moodle participants link shows when the student accessed the course. The "Course Details" link shows only the last time NetAcad was accessed. It would be an issue if we were required to take attendance. Even without having to take attendance, I had an issue with a veteran asking questions about a course and it turned out he had not accessed the course in two months and was asking questions based on LinkedIn videos. I had no way of telling he had not accessed the course. All we need is access by facilitators…

Remove Display Manager Profile
This Profile Manager display is very disturbing for new Netacad participants who will enter the LMS https://www.netacad.com for the first time because it can appear repeatedly, so the instructor is difficult to explain why they have to enter the menu the first time they log in.
We recommend removing this view, or
If Cisco wants to offer a product to make it known to participants, or this view needs to be accessed by Netacad participants, then a new menu or new banner can be created on the Netacad.com home screen.1 voteThanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately we can’t implement your idea at this time.

Make PT Install Easier
Sometimes when students attempt to install Packet Tracer (maybe after one or more previous install attempts), they get an error saying something like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Packet Tracer 8.0.1\saves\7.3.1\DHCP\ipv6statefuldhcpv6prefixlength80.pkt
The existing file is marked a read-only.
Click Retry to remove the read-only attribute and try again, Ignore to skip this file, or Abort to cancel installation."
I wish the install program could be built to automatically take care of this issue, especially for new students who may not be savvy enough to delete previous folders, uninstall previous versions of PT, etc.2 votesArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Navigating Grade/Completion page is too complex!
The page is too big to fit in a screen, neither horizontally (ovious) nor vertically (here something could be done). The Exam names are at top, while the cursor for scrolling horizontally is at bottom, so when the students ar more than a dozen, one must move right and left without seeing the columns headlines (Exam names). Please replicate the or move the cursor at TOP !!!

A feature that allows rearranging of multiple courses on the dashboard.
I would like to see a feature that allows rearranging of multiple courses. i.e. if an instructor traches 3 courses and if they are in the order of 1, 2 and 3, now the instructor wants to have them in the order of 3, 2 and 1.
The feature must allow dragging and rearranging courses on the dashboard.

Change Font Color
I'm not sure who thought light grey fonts were a good idea, but they don't have 52 yr. old eyes. Can we have some way to adjust the color for better contrast?

IT Essentials: Activities in "Course completion" wrongly consider "Final Exam - Composite"
In the IT Essentials course when selecting "Grades/Completion » View » Course Completion" the activities shown are "End of Course Feedback" and "Final Exam - Composite (Chapters 1-14)". These two are automatically updated by the system and should be considered for the approval of the student.
However, most of the students choose to do both the exams "Final Exam (Chapters 1-9)" and "Final Exam (Chapters 10-14)" instead of the "Final Exam - Composite (Chapters 1-14)". In this case one of the activities ("Final Exam - Composite (Chapters 1-14)") will be shown as not completed.
What should be appearing in the…

Steps:
1. Teacher create a class for the course.
2. Generate a code for the course
3. Share on first days of class and students will join by login in to account and doing simple steps just like joing class by code.( same like MS Teams joining class using a shared code)
4. after all students joining teacher will deactivate code.1 voteArchived ·AdminSandra Ray

Thank you for posting to Share Idea. We are unable to implement this suggestion at this time. You may want to look into using seat tokens. This is similar only it is a unique token for each student. Also, if you are creating an exploratory course you can create a self-enroll page.

Your connection is no longer valid ??!!
The connection to a course times out after 2-3 hours, regardless of my activity or inactivity. I have to re-login 3-4 times during full-day lessons ! Could we have a timeout of at least 9 hours (including lunch) ??
