Software Developer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/4/2019 "Intresting prespective for begginers" 2.5/5 What do you like best about edX?

Software Engineer Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/25/2017 "why to go for an edX course." 3/5 What do you like best about edX? Brilliant for learning the basics of any topic and most of them are free, from there onwards you can find a suitable base for exploring the course further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

STEM Partnerships Coordinator Higher Education Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/30/2017 "Great way to take classes for free and affordable fee for 'certification'" 2.5/5 What do you like best about edX? I love the quality and amount of classes offered. Everything that has been produced and published on edX have been interesting, well produced, and overall well executed on the side of the educators. There are lots of options for 'live classes', and you can always take 'dead classes' once they are over. The option to pay for certification is a great benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about edX? It's too big. The interaction function is horrible with other students and the teacher and while it works and works well functionally, it doesn't serve any truly usefulness as a function of learning because there's too many people. It would be great to offer groups or pairing that would allow for better accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is edX solving and how is that benefiting you? It is great to have as a resource for additional training and professional development and great way to get ideas about course design and structure from many leading colleague universities.
