Very detailed courses with many mentioned sources if someone wants to go deeper. There are courses depending on each person's level (beginner, intermediate, etc.).
Pros:Structured and comprehensive material. Engaging instructors and text.
Cons:No cons for now
In my case, where I’m trying to learn new methodologies to improve my daily work, this is being an excellent experience.
Pros:Freedom to manage your courses. Different courses according with your goals. Active community with who you can talk and change experiences.
Cons:I always prefer old school education but with this price and flexibility is impossible!
I think it's one of the best platforms for online learning, with a mix of written and video materials, and providing additional links if you want to learn even more.
Pros:Great content, always accurate and in-depth, and very well structured.
Cons:It's a great platform, no cons at the moment.
I've been looking for the right courses to do to upskill as a UX professional for a while. Of course, there are lots of courses on Youtube with regard to certain tools but what I like about IDF is that it teaches you the concepts and understanding. It is also easy to use and understand. I would like to see more courses focused on using specific tools. I would also like some kind of quiz or benchmarking exercise that could be used to show prospective employers what level of UX practitioner I am at. Also, I would love to see more real-life work examples from other people in courses and exclusive job opportunities.
Pros:Good quality, well-structured course material to suit any level of UX Designer.
Cons:It would be nice if the courses were accredited.
I have been with IDF for 4 months and i am loving every bit of it
Pros:Bestest platform. No one can bit the satisfaction of IDF way of teaching
Cons:no cons
HeyCopy
IDF member for more than 4 months now, great courses and very useful information - detailed and structured content, great examples, useful Literature section and good posts. Highly recommend to beginner & advanced UX professionals.
Pros:- Comprehensive & structured content
Cons:- No cons at the moment
I think the look and feel of the website could be younger and more energetic.
Pros:Very generous enriching content.
Cons:Make their certification more valuable.
I've learned a lot from their free articles! I haven't paid for a course, but I'm sure they're excellent.
Pros:Great weekly newsletters with helpful articles about UX design!
Cons:None atm.
A lifetime subscription would be nice
Pros:- Mix of articles and video - A lot of details
Cons:Not jet
I've been using IDF for over 1.5 years. Been very useful. I can study when I have time. The UX Designers from this website could us it to improve this Reviewing form (140 characters with no warning until you try to send 😵)
Pros:Awesome educator for UX/UI related professions. Study at your own pace, when you have time and desire.
Cons:Some people might learn better with in-person and hands-on education.
