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.

I bought a $5 course on my favourite… I bought a $5 course on my favourite topic. When the course began, I could see a woman in large glasses in her own kitchen reading a course on the screen. I couldn't be disappointed more. Not in vain the program doesn't offer any refunds or excerpts from the course. My advice: Always trust courses that can offer a refund and can show some excerpt from the course before you'll pay for it.

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.

edX is an important education platform edX is a great platform, with courses and programmes (and qualifications!) from top education institutions. I always wanted to study with Harvard and Cambridge but ended up doing my degrees elsewhere, so it was a great opportunity to experience their teaching too. Also excellent. Kind and helpful customer service too. Thank you!

Thanks 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 !
