"Self-Paced, Broad Topical, Real-world and Research Courses"
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.

"Brilliant learning platform"
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.

"Excellent platform for self-learning courses"
What do you like best about FutureLearn?

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.

"Lots of courses"
What do you like best about FutureLearn?

there are tons of courses available from which you can select the ones that interest you the most, the courses are categorised so its very easy to find what you're looking for. the support team is really great, you got a small support button in the dashboard from which you can contact support, they respond really quickly to the queries. many courses available there are free of charge so you could just jump in and learn the course, well other courses got a fixed fee to be paid to enrol. the dashboard is really beautiful with a color combination of pink and white gives a treat to the eyes. the chapters in the courses are available as articles and videos so its very easy to follow. the structure of courses are really neat with portions arranged to be learned on a weekly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FutureLearn?

for many courses, you can't just jump into the course like other services out there, there is a date from which the classes will star, so you have to wait till then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great place to learn and explore courses"
What do you like best about FutureLearn?

I think that this software offers some of the best courses to learn online and excel in a particular skill with minimum fees or no fees. There are good courses for Languages, especially that I loved the most. So, detailed and in easy language. Some of the other courses for Business, Tech, and others have also attracted me and I like new additions also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FutureLearn?

I think there are least courses for digital marketing, Wordpress platform, blogging, Productivity tools courses that can help to master such skills. If these courses are added I think people will not like to leave this software anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great free classes!"
What do you like best about FutureLearn?

I really like that the classes are organized by subject, easily searchable. I also like that they are provided by top tier universities and are very relevant and current to today's world. I'm working in the technology sector as a digital artist and incoming phd student in the RMS (Research Method and Statistics) program in Denver, so I am finding the Data Science classes to be great right now.

What do you dislike about FutureLearn?

The class offerings could be more, I mean there could be more of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great learning platform using comments. "
What do you like best about FutureLearn?

The best part about this platform is that you can learn as you go along with the comments / conversation. This makes the platform more interactive and makes it even more enjoyable. The comments can be selectively viewed by selecting tabs such as most likes , my comments etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FutureLearn?

The platform is different that the others and its more interactive and i believe how will it handle so many conversations at one time if thousands of students come in and start discussion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
