Recent reviews
currently, the courses in EDX.org is not using courses.edx.org which is specified in the setting for web access of EDX++ extension. That is WHY EDX++ can not modify the web display and put the tools for download. Please change to : learniing.edx.org. Please let us know when you have fixed this problem. I will change this review into 5 STARS
