I haven't visited the edx page in a bit so I went to it today. It looks like it's still functioning-- But that makes sense. EdX likely won't see the effects until 2U is a bit further into the bankruptcy process.
But wow, what a different website than the one I remember! I don't like the redesign or the new logo, I can say that much! Nor do I like the course search function, and it bums me out that you have to dig a couple layers to find the more "academic" (less directly career-focused) offerings. Then when I get there, there's no option to filter by instructor-led vs self-paced courses.
I am not going to argue that this is why 2U went bankrupt. it's just my way of agreeing that selling edx was a terrible decision.
