Consultant Physician Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/17/2021 "Brilliant learning platform" 5/5 What do you like best about FutureLearn? All the courses are conducted by globally renowned universities and the topics are also based on the important subjects on-demand at present. The teaching is done by articles, videos, quizzes, etc. The moderators also encourage the learners to type out their opinions in the comment section at the end of each chapter and share/engage with the other learners. Sometimes the moderators also reply and interact with the students, which creates a healthy learning environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FutureLearn? All the courses are not free and payment is needed. The free courses are not accessible after 4 weeks, so one cannot study those at their own pace. Moreover, any Certificates of Achievement/Completion are also not provided for the free courses, which is a huge drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FutureLearn solving and how is that benefiting you? Apart from the problems mentioned in the last section, I did not face any other issues. I have completed 4 courses with them. The benefits of completing the courses are really nice as it enlightens us on various new topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director of Alumni and Career Services Education Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/18/2017 "Self-Paced, Broad Topical, Real-world and Research Courses" 4.5/5 What do you like best about FutureLearn? FutureLearn is an open, online community providing learning courses around a broad diversity of topics. The courses are self-paced with testing rubrics along the way. There are limited windows for enrolling, but completion can occur at the pace of the learner. Content is largely video/audio with some key readings, or hands-on research as applicable, along the way. I have enjoyed the engaging nature of the video content. The teachers are experts in their research and articulate in their presentation. The length of segments allows easy engagement with single segments as time permits. Furthermore, course participants are able to go back and review segments that were less understood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FutureLearn? The open nature of the course limits the degree of engagement with fellow students unless enrolled individuals are willing to work at the pace established by Futurelearn. Also, I have found most of the test less challenging and structured more around rote memorization or regurgitation of data instead of engaged learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FutureLearn solving and how is that benefiting you? Growing in areas of key information assessment and knowledge acquisition at costs that are free (or almost) has provided the necessary education to tackle new opportunities both individually and collectively.

FutureLearn provides a great way to expand my knowledge and I have already completed more than 5 courses here. All the courses are of high quality and it didn’t cost me anything to learn as it is free to use. All the videos are pretty straightforward and easy to understand with the use of helpful graphics. The courses are designed in such a way that they don’t take much time to complete and you can pick the best university to choose from for the courses. The user interface is very simple to navigate and you can easily find the course you are looking for in less than 2 minutes. It is very helpful in expanding your knowledge for a job change or higher studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FutureLearn? The only thing I like dislike about it is that it has very less courses for the technical programs like Digital marketing, Programming, Wordpress, and more. I mainly use these thing in my job and I need more of these courses to be uploaded on the platform. Apart from that, it is overall a very good platform for learning new courses.
