To create a Class, click Classes in the left sidebar and then New class. Give the Class a name, choose who can join, and pick the optional settings. Then add your simulations and other activities.
The Classes page. Highlighted: Classes (14) in the left sidebar, the New class button in the top right corner and the New class card at the start of the list. Each of your Classes is shown as a card with its icon, name, description, number of activities and learners, and privacy (for example Public). At the top are Quick search, Labels, Ask Copilot and Sort.
Step 1. Set up the Class
Click Classes in the left sidebar. You see all your Classes. Click New class (the button in the top right corner or the card at the start of the list).
Type the Class name. You can also add a short description, a location and an external link.
Choose an icon and a background color (or click Surprise). You can also upload a background image and a logo, up to 5 MB each.

Under Class privacy, choose who can join:
Public on the web — anyone with the Class link.
Passcode protected — only people who have the passcode. BranchTrack creates the passcode for you.
Invite only — only people you invite by email.
Under Optional settings, tick what you need: Add facilitators, Enable teams & tables, Lock/Unlock activities, Send welcome email.
Click Continue.
The New Class form. Highlighted: the Class name field, the Class privacy options (Public on the web, Passcode protected, Invite only), the Optional settings (Add facilitators, Enable teams & tables, Lock/Unlock activities, Send welcome email) and the Continue button. On the left are the description, location, external link, icon and background, background image and logo. At the bottom are Multi-Score Settings and a Note that only authors and facilitators can see.
Note: you can't change Add facilitators once a Class has facilitators, or Enable teams & tables once learners have joined or a team assignment is added. Decide on these when you create the Class.
Step 2. Add simulations and activities
After Continue, the empty Class dashboard opens with two buttons: Add simulations and Add other activity.
Click Add simulations. The Select sims to add page opens.
Tick the simulations you want. You can search, filter and sort them.
Click Add.
The Select sims to add page. Each simulation card has a checkbox; the ticked checkbox on “ID Control: Person Assessment [demo]” and the Add button in the top right corner are highlighted. At the top are Quick search, Filter, Labels and Sort.
To add documents, videos, links and other activities, click Add other activity. See Class activities.
Change a Class later
To change the Class settings, open the Class and click the Settings icon (gear) in the Class header.
To remove a simulation or activity, open its menu (☰) on the Class dashboard and click Remove. Removing an activity deletes all learners' progress and scores for it; the simulation itself is kept.
