Review guidelines

Reviews help learners choose and help designers, instructors and the Xplor-Learning team improve. Every review on Xplor-Learning uses the same form.

A helpful review

  • Is about your own experience, and is honest and specific: what worked, what didn't, and why.
  • Rates each part on its own (for example, clarity separately from value).
  • Has at least 20 characters of text and at most 2000. The title is optional (up to 100 characters).
  • Says whether you would recommend it to someone like you.

Not allowed

  • Insults, harassment, hate speech or threats.
  • Personal information such as phone numbers, email or home addresses.
  • Advertising, links to other services, or reviews written in exchange for something.
  • Reviews of something you didn't take part in, or of your own course, session or profile.

Designers and instructors can report a review. Administrators may hide reviews that break these rules.
