Many courses are designed and taught by professors from respected institutions what level up the content quality, the flexibility to learn anytime I wanted and the possibility to structure learning paths.

Like

majority of the courses are self paced you can learn on your own schedule if youre a busy professional

Like

It's easy to find courses. Easy to save courses you participate in. The mobile app is user friendly.

Dislike

Some courses are not so good and a kind of outdated, we must be wise picking the best ones. Sometimes I felt technical glitches during quizzes or progress tracking.

Dislike

i feel the platform could do more to personalize the learning paths

Dislike

It is not easy to find a way to unregister from a course. Notifications by email would be beneficial so as not to miss deadlines. Errors in the description of some courses.
