One can easily learn from international recognized colleges, universities etc. > > **Cons**: All the tools provided are great for MOOC. It's a great solution for online LMS, MOC platforms. The only thing I like least is that many if the great courses are not affordable for some students which are not free but the great thing on edx is that one can easily apply for price discount using the application and the officials are offering more than 10% discount and it's a great thing for poor or needy students. > > In front of such a great tools on openedx, we are feeling very relaxed as a college administration. All the credit goes to OpenEdX team. Thanks ----- ### "The best MOOC site in the web" — 5.0/5 > **Cesar A** | *17 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: EDX offers a big range of courses and specializations to improve your knowledge or your academy grade, the quantity of courses offers by EDX are virtually endless and the emcompass a big amount of fields like: project management, development, economy, history, grammar, languages, economy, geography, and so many other that can be so useful for students, academics or general public to learn about an specific topi. EDX offer certificates to check the grade of the course or courses that you do, with this certificate you can improve your resume and demonstrate to the people all that you have learn, even in digital ways this can be possible, because the certificate bring a link to check their authenticated. > > **Cons**: Since a couple of years EDX does not offer so many free certificates, and this can be a big limation for peoples who has not the money to pay. I think that EDX must offer the opportinity to have in every course that they offer a free certified, this can be a great opportunity for people of poors contries to improve their knowledge and abilities and to show it to the others. > > With EDX I learn a lot about project management, economy and sustainable development. The courses offers had show me how are working some organization to have a better world, using alternative energies and saving a lot of money and resources with it, besides the project management courses had help to organize my own schedule and to begin a new business. ----- ### "provides good interface" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 May 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's cool and outstanding However, Atleast it has some few errors which make it to become very slow sometimes it takes minutes to open up > > **Cons**: Very friendly and useful as it's produce number of required skills in real life situation > > Since I used it seems to work well ----- ### "Storehouse of knowledge through online courses from the best faculties and mentors" — 5.0/5 > **Tohibullah** | *8 December 2018* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their courses cover almost all the fields starting from languages to technology, religion to crafts. They are one of the best online education service providers giving an option to audit most of their courses for free. The other option is to pursue a verified certificate by paying a fee. It is a win-win for all. Those who are affluent, paying a fee can be like paying a donation\! The other advantage of going for a paid certificate is the motivation to learn when you get something by paying your hard earned income instead of free. Not to say, the recognition of a paid certificate by edx also makes your CV/profile appear more professional. > > **Cons**: Despite all the hypes towards video, I still prefer learning the traditional way in a book format, which can be ebook (pdf) in today's digital age. I find their way of organizing learning materials confusing and rather obstructing. > > Preferred online destination to learn from the best faculties and mentors. ----- ### "Edx thousands of courses for all people, the knowledge available to everyone" — 5.0/5 > **Victor** | *4 February 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform gives you an extraordinary search engine that fits the requirements of all. thousands of universities offer tested and guaranteed courses to acquire knowledge in any area you want, from robotics, languages, culture, history, project management, smart cities, big data, are a sample of what you can get in EdX.
