the highest quality courses possible

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

open edx is one of the platforms that currently has the best performance in terms of users who buy their courses through the platform and that is why it is one of the leaders, the search menu is very easy to use, we can find several topics that we may like them, such as learning excel, and other topics that are very good to learn, and I have noticed that other similar platforms do not have such relevant and important topics and that is why I always choose to use open edx

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Since I use open edx I tend to have more retention of learning, I suppose that the teachers are better trained and I tend to understand much better and more fluently, it happened that one of the courses was super happy since the subtopics were well organized and understandable , the excel course in the formulas part was totally great and effective

What do you dislike most about this product?

Whenever I use open edx to acquire courses and understand many necessary things, the results were always favorable since I always understood from the beginning, the only bad thing is that to be able to see the courses I must have internet and I don't always have availability, the only thing is that I can do it whenever I want and this is something that must be given a positive value rather than a negative one

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If there is someone who is reading this review and needs to learn something and the course is available on the Open Edx platform, I would very easily recommend that they try the platform, since the topics to be covered in the course are very complete, for example the ones I have Taken like Excel, I learned a lot and ended up understanding practically everything that the course teacher wanted to teach and that's why I'm happy with the content provided by the Open Edx platform.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
