BeChallenge vs Experiential Learning Inventory (ELI)

BeChallenge is a web-based experiential learning platform that connects university learning activities with evidence of graduate profiles and employer validation. Its AI Designer generates editable experiences with phases, activities, deliverables, and rubrics. Teams can use Kanban, submit phase-based deliverables, receive teacher feedback and company mentorship, while the platform records individual contributions. Self, peer, and instructor assessments can be tied to work evidence, with reports exportable by cohort and program. University-company features cover internships, challenges, agreements, mentors, and a Talent Hub for discovering students through evidence. LTI 1.3 integrations with Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace include single sign-on and grade synchronization. The platform issues portable Open Badges-compatible credentials linked to evidence and shareable on LinkedIn or a CV. It supports Spanish, English, Catalan, Portuguese, Hebrew, and Arabic, including right-to-left display. The maker states GDPR compliance, EU hosting, HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, and role-based access; student data is not used to train AI models. Teachers can use the AI Experience Designer free, while institutional subscriptions and Challenge Week are priced by proposal.

Experiential Learning Inventory (ELI) is web-based, open-source software for higher education internship management. It centralizes student placement information and supports workflows from internship setup through enrollment and reporting. For Out of State Learning Placements, ELI records the student, course, dates, faculty supervisor, site and learning objectives. It handles internship contracts, affiliation agreements, enrollment management and state-authorization reporting. Approval workflows can move through faculty, department and dean review before registrar enrollment. Soft alerts support data integrity, while automatic notifications help keep processes moving. ELI also stores emergency contacts, current physical location, supervisor contacts and placement start and stop dates for safety records. Reports cover internship counts and state-authorization information for administrators, employers, career centers, legal counsel and registrars. The platform integrates with existing ERP systems, although specific systems are not named. It is described as secure cloud software, mobile-browser and tablet friendly, and usable from anywhere.
