OpenEdX Erfahrungen

Vorteile

EDX it is plataform that offers a lot of courses for professionals and people who wants to improve their knowledge in some specific topics like technology, marketing, data anylisis, history, languages, development, nature, and so many other topics. In my case as a Geographer I like to take course about data analysis because I can learn about the new tendencies in the data analysis and start using new tools like R programming, this tools combine with GIS are an amazing tool to analyze spatyal data and understand some patters of human behavior using socioeconomic information.

Nachteile

When I start using EDX I did not notice that most of the certificates are for pay, so I start and finish a couple of course and at the end they send me a mail telling me that I have to pay for the certified and unfortunately I have not money to pay for it, and that is a problem because I did not prove to anyone that I pass a course in this plataform, I think they must offer free certificates for people of some countries.

Vorteile

OpenEdX is the most feature-complete on-prem teaching and learning solution. It takes a different approach to developing curricula and materials, using the X-blocks system. The feature list of OpenEdX is impressive by itself, but the xblocks system of incorporating relevant material makes OpenEdX the best choice.

Nachteile

The one thing we wanted from OpenEdX that it couldn't provide was integration with the discourse discussion platform. Instead an internal discussion / peer help system is used, which is of lower quality than Discourse.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

Very friendly and useful as it's produce number of required skills in real life situation

Vorteile

Same feature as online edX, great interface, easy to use for user. easy to manage for administrator. Easy to clone from edx's github repository

Nachteile

It a bit difficult for users, need special software and hardware requirements. Installation itself is very difficult too. Need to trial and errors.

Vorteile

I have mostly just use the "edX" part of OpenEdX. I think that it is a really awesome way to learn things that you wanted to learn, but just learning it online without having to get up and go to a real classroom. I think it is also great that it gives people the chance to learn from Ivy League universities for free when normally they would not have had the chance to do so.

Nachteile

What I least like about this software is that many of the edX courses are not free. I think there is a good amount that is free, but some of the more useful courses are not and they can sometimes be quite expensive. I don't necessarily think they are worth the money when there are other places like Coursera to find something similar for free.

Vorteile

Its ease of use is impressive, from the beginning you can know the entire structure of the course and its learning resources. As a student, the application is very intuitive, and it records all my progress.

Nachteile

The only disadvantage is that some activities, such as the so-called "word cloud" can not be executed within the same app (from an iPhone), but all the rest of them work without problems.

Vorteile

EDX is awesome portal to do courses of anything you want, with this plataform I can do courses about programming in Python, R programming, Data Visualizing and so more, all this only enroll me and enjoying from all the materials, specially videos that are perfect because they explain the theory and practice in a great way, all the materials are updated and the professors are high qualify.

Nachteile

Most of the courses do not offer free certificates, so you have to pay for it if you want to get want, I think that they put an option to get free certificates basic on your grade or in some tasks of the courses that you are doing.

Vorteile

EDX it is the best option for people who wants to improve their knowledge or just learning about a new topic, the offer of courses of EDX is huge, you can choose MOOC to learn about enviroment, a language, project management, and so many other issues of your interest. They offer certificates to validate your learning of every course.

Nachteile

The main limitation of EDX is that the most of courses do not offer a free certified, so you have to pay for it, this is a great limitation for people who cannot afford to pay for it.

Vorteile

The website hosts so many MOOCs useful to train company personnel. I and my employees have benefited much from the free courses. There is no need to pay to study them - just for the certificates. We have no need for the latter, however, for we have established our brand already.

Nachteile

Prices for certificates too high - maybe decrease it for developing states.

Vorteile

I like OpenEdX most because it is an open source.

Nachteile

Though we get the quick help from OpenEdX community, I would say there are no any cons.

Vorteile

Awesome features... I use less dynamic LMS platforms and this one is one of the most engaging. It feels like a real classroom; students can engage in real time as long as they follow syllabi. If you fall behind you can reset your dates and your grades are rolled over from the previous date. I've used the live video conferencing feature which adds to real-life interaction. The discussion boards and forums are aesthetically pleasing. You can download the app and the features are equally good. You can audit the course.

Nachteile

You have to pay for credit, though it is not expensive.

Vorteile

- easy to customize. the quality is high, so it's easy adding new features in order to innovate

- modern UI, mobile-ready

Nachteile

- initial installation requires some experience

- analytics is not a part of the initial package and requires additional installation

Nachteile

The course dashboard is a bit messy and needs some modifications but this doesn't mean that it not easy to use.

Start learning with EDX was and still is one of the best things that I can do in my free time.

Nachteile

The offer of free certifies is virtually dissapear, in the most of the courses you can only audit, and you do not have the change to get a free certified, this can be a great limitation for people of so many countries who cannot access to the certifies and validate their knowledge.

I studied a new subject using a course that was offered by a top university that is well renowned worldwide.

Nachteile

The interface on the mobile app can be a bit more user-friendly. But other than that the content and structure of the course were very helpful

I always rely on openEdX in self-learning as they have wide range of courses in all aspects of like. Also they are not just courses they are from very big universities like MIT, Stanford and Harvard.

Nachteile

They dashboard needs to be redesigned as the user interface is very crowded and i always take time to understand how to flow works.

Vorteile

The classes are really good. I have a 4 year degree, and these are right up there with the ones I took.

Nachteile

Some classes are better than others. I've loved classes and hated others. I wish mobile had a 1.5x - 2.5x speed.

Vorteile

The content is without any doubt amazing. There're hips of information that any person could use and the courses are well structured.

Nachteile

The fact that to get a certificate you need to pay makes it useless in comparison to other resources that charge upfront or straight don't charge at all. Also, how the options are organized is so unintuitive that you have to know specifically what you want or you might end up lost in courses that have nothing to do with what you want to achieve.

Vorteile

Best thing is this is an open software and there are so many courses on a vast variety of subjects. Courses are simply explained and covers from the basics.

Nachteile

Nothing bad to say, but appreciate including more lessons. And it's good to add more lessons covering more subject areas and if possible different languages.

Vorteile

What I love about edX is that I can get the professional university knowledge from prestige universities from my country. The lessons themselves are suitable for high level of interactivity.

Nachteile

Sometimes there is no certificate of achievement for free courses and some of the courses are really expensive.

Vorteile

It´s really easy to use. I like the web design and it´s functionalities. Also it´s web responsive so I can study on my phone and tablet. I like that it´s free. Also I like that they offer different kind of programs, not only MOOCs.
