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!

Honestly edX is my favourite site to do… Honestly edX is my favourite site to do these courses. The fee you pay for the certificates if you go that route are indefinite, so you can do the course as you please. Other sites you would have to pay monthly and depending if you don't complete within the month you'll only pay more. So, price wise really good. The courses I've taken are really well done. Quality instruction and depending on the course good forum interaction too. I've also done free courses and are exactly like the payed ones difference being the certificate. So, if you don't want to pay you still get quality instruction.

Actual 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.

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.

No 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.
