Calculus 1A: Differentiation is no longer available at eDx #17

Calculus 1A: Differentiation is no longer available at eDx. Please, provide equivalent alternative for this course.

As far as I understand, copy of this course is available for free here: https://openlearninglibrary.mit.edu/courses/course-v1:MITx+18.01.1x+2T2019/course/ although, there's no way to get a certificate.

As of Dec 08, 2021 the course is available on edX, as an "archived course". The link directly takes me to the archived course. It says it "ended on Sep 1, 2021". The only unavailable part is the Final Exam. I just "viewed archived course" and did this today: today

There are multiple versions of the same courses on edX, this might be the source of confusion. There are courses accessed with "View course" and with "View archived course": arch

@tyashin Maybe your access expired? This is a common issue on edX as they have a short time limit for free use. Or the course itself was on a schedule and it ended? For example, this is what it currently says on Calculus 1B: calc1B

Also possible is that edX themselves are going through some big changes, so they are probably moving things around a lot. They recently switched from non-profit to profit: edxLOL

The OLL versions are missing the Homeworks from the edX versions (the "Homework Part A/B" labeled parts at the end of each Unit), which have a lot of questions. I have solved every single one of those questions and they are very important:

This is OLL: OLL

This is the edX version: edxver

I can add the OLL versions as alternative backups.

Thank you, @spamegg1. At this point I'm OK with the lack of certificates. Both links for this course work (at eDx and at MIT.edu)

@tyashin Great, thanks for the confirmation.
