The EDL platform distinguishes between two types of activities:

Events are competitive activities with:

Fixed deadlines

Judged submissions

Rankings and awards

Points toward your overall score

Exercises are practice activities with:

Flexible timing

Self-paced learning

Feedback without ranking

Skill development focus
