edX for Business vs. Ideagen Workplace Training

I certainly reccomend edX for Business to support learning projects that demand specific knowledge contents. These online courses are complete and engaging, and they can be used to support different learning needs inside a company. It is flexible because anyone can complete it on its own pace and using different devices. I believe it is appropriate to big companies, because pricing may be an issue in some countries (it is expensive in Brazil).

It would be 10 but for the fact that sometimes, the transition from training to test is not smooth. The user can finish the course but not be prompted to proceed to doing the test.
