| Learning formats | Programs include flexible, hybrid, 100% online, and self-paced formats. | The learning ecosystem combines digital, live, and blended learning formats. |
| Mobile app | The free edX app supports account creation, course enrollment, most assignments, videos, handouts, announcements, discussions, and offline video downloads. | QA states that it decommissioned its mobile application on 14 July 2026. |
edX suits learners pursuing education or ongoing professional development through courses, certificates, microcredentials, and other programs. 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.
It suits individuals, groups of up to 10 learners, and organizations building technical skills. Enterprise teams can use manager tools, SSO, and listed integrations.
