| What it does | edX is a mission-driven online course provider offering courses, programs, and other educational content from edX, member institutions, 2U, partners, and other institutions. | Emeritus delivers university-partnered short courses, certificates, degrees and executive programs for individuals, companies and governments. |

Institutions and businesses can consider its LMS integrations and administrative tools; app users who need timed or proctored exams must use something other than the app for those exams.
