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.

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.

Knowledge, 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.

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.

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.
