"Edx adds value to online education."
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

Edx is free! That's the most striking thing about it. Unlike most free services on the internet, I do not regret using EdX. I used Edx to prepare for my IELTS test. At the time, I could not afford to take offline classes and I stumbled on the edX IELTS tutorials. I love the attention to detail; how edX carefully outlines the course contents and lays it out in several forms. I was initially worried about whether I would get the most out of the tutorials what with it being free. But the tutorial was created to suit all my audio-visual needs; it had videos, text, practice tests and audio prompts. It was an all-round learning experience that paid off. I secured 8.0 overall score on my IELTS, thanks to edX.

Since then, I have continued to take several other courses on edX, even on the go; not only does the app perfect on my mobile, I have the option of downloading lessons and study offline when I do not have access to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

The exercise can be quite data consuming. To get the most out of edX, I had to watch all the videos, download and upload audio. I found myself spending more than I had hoped, purchasing data plans to sustain my study. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Value "
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

The ability to access relevant real world subject matter from high profile educational institutions to obtain tangible certifications. It's been a significant benefit to me and part of why, after many years of unemployment due to the financial crisis, I have been able to secure professional employment at a base salary of $60,000 in the financial services industry. I have been an edX student since 2013 and the added factor of financial aid in the form of discounts was a game changer for me. I love and recommend this platform routinely to anyone and everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

There's really not that much to dislike about the courses themselves and their presentation. However, I would like to see a broader array of subject matter in some areas. It would be a benefit to be able to verify as a legitimate education platform in the eyes of services and products that offer "Student Discounts" such as The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very effective online educational Program"
4.5/5
What do you like best about edX?

EdX is comprehensive, straightforward and easy to use. It offers various professional courses and there are certificates at the end of the course. I like that EdX offers free courses except when you require a certificate, and even when the course is not free, you can still audit the course material and access content. I also like that EdX has a star rating program that helps inform learners about courses based on

other learner’s experiences before enrolling. I also like the categorization and structure of courses. You can search for a course randomly through a refined search or locate by subject making everything simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

Some courses in EdX are entirely not free. You need to pay a fee to be able to access and use the material more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A software that allows you study anywhere, anytime!"
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

What do you dislike about edX?

I think everything about edX is just great, it's not expensive and the quality of teachers employed are standard. There's nothing I dislike about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Improve Yourself Academically"
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

Edx is one of the greatest platforms to improve yourself academically. I like it because it is so full of opportunities to get hands-on knowledge and skills outside the classroom. I also like how it does help both academic students as well as professionals that are in need of extra knowledge and certifications. However, certifications are very well-acknowledged and accepted everywhere in the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

The only complain I might have is the cost of enrolling in courses. It's kind of above average. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I liked the course material and plan to take more courses"
4.5/5
What do you like best about edX?

I don't really have a substantial amount of time to take courses at a college or some other in-person institutions like seminars or short courses, but I found edX to have quality courses that allow me get the most out of the time I do have. The edX website is easy to use and has many details available for each course. I can pick a few different courses and compare the information quickly to figure out the course that is best for me. I like that there are many types of media files for us to access, not just text page or documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

There is less of a personal feel to these online courses compared to standard courses I have taken in the past. My completed edX courses don't really have the certification level that college courses have. Most of the courses I've taken are strictly for the knowledge acquired, as opposed to getting items to build my resume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Lovely Platform to get Knowledge"
5/5
What do you like best about edX?

edx is a lovely platform to use as a means of getting a great amount of knowledge. Aside from bring word-class, edx also stands as one of the best places you can get certified. Courses listing from a-z of all disciplines. Strategies used in teaching are truly impeccable, guaranteeing a perfect understanding for students. I registered a lot of courses on edx for free and they were really worth it. I could say they were better than some paid courses on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

edx is impeccable, I don't think any one would have a reason to dislike edx. Enjoyable and effective it is Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intresting prespective for begginers"
2.5/5

"A satisfying online learning experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about edX?

The amount of detail that goes into the courses I've taken was really great. I would say that the course material structure was very similar to courses I've taken at actual colleges. I feel like I can learn the course information much more effective online, especially when edX helps to sort material in a way that makes it easy to access. The amount of courses on edX is great. I like that they're not all boring traditional school type courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about edX?

Most of my courses were not too expensive, but some courses can get quite up there in price. I think it's hard to fully justify some of the high prices for digital course material with limited live involvement. I don't really dislike anything about the courses or the professors though.
