GBEDX can be used in different ways EDX can be used in different ways. I personally have used EDX since its inception. I am a huge fan of e-learning and wrote to the UK government 40 years ago when the internet started with the massive opportunity it presented to improve UK education - deaf ears of course (read Rory Stewart's book on how government does not work). But EDX and FutureLearn have provided significant resources for everyone in the world online and if you 'audit' the course (as I do) then they are completely free. Yes some vary in quality, but some of the courses I have reviewed are simply the best courses I have ever taken in my life - and I have a UK Hons Degree done way back when. So, I suggest people stop & think before paying - Audit the course FIRST - then, if it is good quality and is what you expect, only then pay if you really need a certificate.

GBThe EdX courses are good but unfair The EdX courses are good, but need flexibility, so that the one who has done more than 50% of assignments ,as audit, could be able to pay and to be able to finish the course. Not to cut him off in the middle of the course. Education should be a priority here, not- business and money! You stress and depress people. They lose their time, and become unhappy. Bad decisions of the EdX management team.

GBThis company is Satan incarnate This company, edX/2U, is performing a money grab. They advertise about this great opportunity, a way to improve your living situation by learning a skill that is in need. I was sold by their salespeople on a great opportunity. When I finished, received my paper, paid my money, and couldn't find work... I was told there was no guarantee to find employment. Every response seemed as thought it was scripted. not to mention, my mom passed away in the middle of the bootcamp I was enrolled in. I was grieving, I wasn't able to learn anything or retain any info. my mind was on mourning the passing of my mom. edx/2U counselors offered me one excused absence of the two days I missed when my mom passed. They didn't offer anything outside of that excused absence. No postponed class, maybe restart in a new class, a refund..Nothing. they are a greedy corporation that wants your money. I'm sure they've rebranded and are probably running this same scam under a new name. Just be careful.

DEGood content, poor navigation I took 4 courses in the last year. While the course quality is good, the navigation through the learning material is a nightmare. Please fix the user experience ;)

DEThanks again Thanks again, was a pleasure ! The only thing that was really annoying was the material and there exercises in the machine learning that were broken all the times so you needed to keep guessing and hoping that it will work out in the end. So Please dear course providers in the future stay tuned to your published material and keeping up to date and get us hanging in there ... Thanks a lot !
