GHKnowledge, 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.

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.

BRBad learning experience I was doing an LLM course the labs stopped working for me might course and edX support said that's a problem with the staff delivering the course. The staff delivering the course responded with a scripted message the forum thread I started and then went dark.

GBNo content and no instructor I completed edX's Online Teaching and Learning Strategies course. It was awful and I learned nothing. The course content is little to nothing. Many pages were bullet points of best-practices with no explanation or extension. The course format was the same throughout all 9 modules: Introduction - instructor 30 sec video (which she read from a folded piece of paper) - discussion - summary. It was a waste of time and money.

SEActual trash. Actual trash. They claim their concept is free education, with an added option to pay in case you want a diploma, but some of the courses straight up only offer you a THIRD of the course before asking you to pay to see the rest. Its a disgusting bait and switch one wouldn't expect from an enterprise touting about its ties to actual universities. Avoid at all costs. Also, the customer service is - as many have said - garbage.
