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.

Bad customer service I have used the chat to ask questions about the course and the person (should've take the name -_-) on top of taking ages to reply, kept on telling me to "google it" , she/he clearly didn't know anything about the course (Front-End web dev). Now seeing all the bad reviews of this platform I will not proceed to the course.

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 !

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 ;)

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!
