edX is truly an awesome platform for engaging in lifelong learning.Right from the sheer range of subjects and topics, to the superb quality and caliber of both the course contents and the institutions offering the the courses – truly a boon. What they've achieved, in addition to making fantastic learning resources globally accessible, in many ways has redefined the education in itself, whether one seeks enrichment for the sheer curiosity and pursuit of knowledge, or as a means to build a professional/academic path. Personally, I am moving across disciplines and consequently there are gaps in my understanding and competence in certain areas. I have found edX and the very many hosted courses to be invaluable in filling out these blind spots, enabling a deeper appreciation of the disciplines involved. I have gained more structured knowledge efficiently and along with it, confidence, than I would have if I had relied only on books. Most courses that I have taken have far exceeded my expectations, some more so than others. One can easily experience the joy of learning in whichever domain one fancies! Even if there ever were moments of dissatisfaction, they were addressed by either the platform or by the course makers or the discussion groups. The very fact that all courses on the platform are open to everyone regardless of financial investments – speaks volumes about edX's commitment to the cause.Thank you for existing and please don't ever stop!
