Hi James,

I have taken diffferent courses/specializations on Coursera and have recently started on EdX. I personally would recommend the Micromasters but I guess it depends on the content, price, and future outcome you are looking for.

I am hoping to start the MBA core curriculum Micromasters on EdX soon. It can be used towards one of their actual Masters degrees if I were to do that in the future. They don't have something really close to it on Coursera for what I want. The price varies too. With Coursera you pay per month now, so the faster you go, the cheaper. EdX is a little more expensive but again, it all comes down to what kind of class you are looking to take.
