Besides BranchTrack simulations, you can add other activities to a Class: documents, videos, images, links, HTML courses (for example from Articulate Storyline) and offline tasks. This way all parts of your training are in one place, and learners earn points for each of them.
Activity types
Document — a PDF file, up to 20 MB.
Video — an MP4 or WebM file, up to 100 MB. You can add a captions file (.vtt).
Image — any image file, up to 5 MB.
Link — a link to any web page.
HTML (.zip) — a course or other web content packed in a .zip file, up to 100 MB. See below.
Other — any activity that happens outside BranchTrack, for example a workshop or a discussion.
How to add an activity
Open your Class and click Add activity.
In the New Activity window, choose the activity type on the left.
Type the Activity name, and upload the file or enter the link. You can also add a Thumbnail (optional; 320×200 pixels or larger looks best).
Set the Completion score — the points a learner gets for completing the activity (1 to 999). The "Other" type has no completion score; you give points to learners by hand.
The New Activity window in a Class. Highlighted on the left: the activity types Document (.pdf), Image, Video (.mp4), HTML (.zip), Link and Other. On the right are the Thumbnail (optional), Activity name, the upload area “Choose a PDF file…” (PDF up to 20 MB), Play button icon and the highlighted Completion score field.
Add an existing course as an HTML activity
You can bring courses made in Articulate Storyline or other authoring tools into a Class. HTML activities are switched on per account — contact BranchTrack support to turn them on.
Upload the course as a .zip file, up to 100 MB. The archive your authoring tool creates usually works as is.
The zip must contain a start page —
index.html,story.html,default.html,home.html,main.html,landing.htmlorwelcome.html— at the top level or inside a single folder.Completion: Classes don't use SCORM or xAPI tracking. By default, an HTML activity is marked complete when the learner opens it and closes it again.
To complete it only when the learner really finishes (and to send a score), the course must report its progress to BranchTrack, and Disable auto-complete must be ticked. See How to add JavaScript to Articulate Storyline to send completion & score to Classes.
Storage limit
Uploaded files count toward your account's storage: 100 MB on the Free plan. When the storage is full, you'll see "Attachments size limit reached" and can't upload more files. If you reach the limit, contact BranchTrack support.
