GBThe 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.

GBEDX 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.

ITGood freemium Good freemium Nice courses, a bit too informative but with a little bit of practice. I started the LLM course and noticed that, the business is inside the databricks workspace you need to purchase! Everything needs money, so even this course does it! It is just hidden behind a (necessary) condition to use the (payable) databricks workspace in order to make experiments with python code using LLM stuff.

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.

GBGuidelines are vague/wrong Guidelines are vague/wrong, no credit given for completed modules which then prevents the exam from launching. It's so unclear that it doesn't tell you that you missed the exam deadline - rather, the way it's written, made it seem the exam wasn't open yet to be able to write it. No help available. Terrible.
