Whether you're mounting exercises from a workbook or starting from scratch, you can build your entire course with HiringBranch.

In HiringBranch, content is built around courses, lessons and activities. Activities are your core content material. They come in three basic types:

For instructor-led oral practice, where you need to manually score recordings and leave comments, use a SocioLearner Recording activity.

For multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, recording with voice recognition and automatic scoring, use a Worksheet.

For extended writing practice with detailed feedback, use a Writing activity.

Combine all three activity types in your lessons for the most flexibility.

When you log in with your instructor ID, you'll be on the Course page. Start by creating a course, or open an existing course.

Choose something clear and concise.

A short description of your course. Keep it under 150 words. For longer course descriptions, add a introduction worksheet.

Choose a image that fits with the course. Learners will see this image when they log in. The image should be approximately 370 pixels wide and 270 pixels high.

Once you create or open a course to edit, you'll be on the Lesson page.

All your activities will go inside Lessons. From the Lesson page, click Create New Lesson.

Inside the lesson, you can add activities like SocioLearner Recording activities, Worksheets, or Writing Activities.
