What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

The platform features a very good search engine that caters to everyone’ requirements. Thousands of institutions provide courses in robotics, languages, culture, history, project management, sensible cities, and massive data, to say a few. It’ straightforward to travel there and explore from any location. As a result, taking classes on-line is both pleasurable and advantageous. As a student it’s a really easy platform and with the navigation menu you usually know how to advance and return the course topics, the simplest has been the subtitles of the videos that permit you to better understand the message.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Thanks to EDX, I’ve learned plenty regarding project management, economics, and sustainable development. The categories demonstrated how some companies try to create the world a much better place by utilizing energy and conserving cash and resources. Furthermore, the project management classes assisted me in organizing my calendar and launching a brand new business. This LMS platform has been very intuitive, it permits uploading very diverse multimedia system resources, from images, videos, podcasts and a few scorm files to generate very engaging courses.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The one factor we needed from OpenEdX that it couldn’t offer was integration with the discourse discussion platform. Most of the accessible courses aren’t free. The price of a certificate is excessive. To promote communication, personal chat sessions with the mentor should even be available. As an administrator it is a touch difficult to configure it on a virtual server, however, when understanding the quality parameters and everything else it is very simple to continue configuring.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you need an open supply platform but with nice technical support, you’ll use this option since it’s a basic application equivalent to LMS and STUDIO, but this can be complemented by specialized modules to cover all the mandatory ones in the creation of multimedia system courses and updated.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features

Exceptional way to learn with courses

What differentiates Open edX from other similar products?

This platform has a lot of competition, there are many companies that offer courses in very similar or specific areas that open edx also offers, which means that it has to be constantly advancing in technology and offering new courses with much better quality and better benefits, this makes each Maybe the Open edx service will be much better because they are forced to always improve so that the competition company did not take the lead to put on top of them, and this is something that I like a lot because I know they are doing a good job

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I have had the opportunity to take open edx courses and they have a lot of quality, they are courses that are endorsed by very large companies, universities with a lot of prestige, highly qualified professors for teaching courses have specialized degrees, therefore their experience and their way of working teach us it. In the courses they give us many tips to achieve in the area that we are looking at in the course that is why it is important to learn to use open edx

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing that I do not like the service that Open edx offers is that the Android version is a bit slow and this makes it difficult for me to search for a course, sometimes the application gets stuck or it closes unexpectedly I also see that the technical support responds a a little late to the questions and I would like it to be a little more in real time or shortening the wait for answers, this would be very important because it would help us when we need it either to follow the course or decide which one to choose

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In these times you have to learn many things, therefore I would like you to be given the opportunity to use Open edx because it has an amazing number of courses available, all of them good quality, some teachers committed to teaching also with their area used this platform to obtain About eight or nine courses, approximately, all that I completed and I have obtained my certificate without any problem, so I would like to see this platform given a chance, which has earned my respect and attention.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service
