What do you like best about edX?

I found the way the quiz and the exercises to test your knowledge well organised on the Platform

Platform in general is easy to navigate - courses are easy to find, quizzes and problems are adequate and based on the content + a bit of reflexion, you should be most of the time able to reply or find the solution to a problem.

Some courses had great instructors and it is not only the way they teach but the way they share some tips and advices - it almost feels like personal tutoring.

I really really liked the format of the quizzes and some of the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

Honestly nothing really as the I did take several courses and was satisfied by the content.

Maybe I sometimes found some courses a bit old.

I know software programming and tech are evolving fast but it would be great to propose some updates or refresher to some courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All interests are covered, there's something for everyone"
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

You can find courses for all different interests, presented by some of the best in the field. Even highly ranked Universities offer their courses, most often for free.

In addition, the certificates can easily be downloaded or integrated in various platforms such as LinkedIn which makes it super easy to include them in every resume.

Most courses are offered in English and communicating with other learners can be very helpful. The forums offer the opportunity to exchange questions and tips with other people taking the same course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

Maybe a reminder for the classes would be good in order to stay on top of things and help to create a good routine especially while working.

Sometimes in niche courses there isn't as much exchange happening in the forum, maybe there could be someone from the course starting conversations.

Navigating the courses sometimes can be a bit more complicated than with other platforms, especially within the discussion forums. But with some time you can get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Resource for Continuing Education"
4.5/5
What do you like best about edX?

EdX allows you to work at your own pace through university level coursework. There are a wide variety of courses to choose from, and most are of high quality from well known universities around the world. A nice feature some courses utilize is the forum setup that allows you to post, view, and comment on classmates' work - this is a useful tool that makes courses feel more akin to in-person learning. I especially appreciate this feature in creative/design oriented courses where users can upload their sketches and models to communicate more complex ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

The only negative to edX is the high price point for access to full availability to certain courses. Luckily, most courses have the option to "audit" the course for free. However, in auditing you typically do not receive the full experience (access to all content, feedback on your work, verification of course completion, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
