I feel scammed I did a course on electromagnetism, 8.02.1x. I completed the first (electrostatics) out of 3 courses, and the materials and teaching staff were great. However, I prepaid the whole programme, and before I could start the second course they were all removed from the platform. I did not get a refund for the remaining two courses.

EDX 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.

The 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.

Good 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 ;)

Knowledge, Practical and Workspace Edx is a great platform to learn from, especially university programs. One course I took and loved was a computer science program by Havard University. The only challenge was that there was no workspace or platform to practice or code-along with your instructor. It would be great if such improvements were made.
