An open-source web
conferencing and Webinar/virtual classroom tool ‘BigBlueButton’
has been obtainable since 2007 in the market. The main aim of this
tool is to allow universities, colleges and K12 to deliver top-notch
quality learning experience to remote students. However, this project
has come a long way since then as the company also introduced
recording LTI integration and other important long required features.
The best thing about this
tool is that it supports real-time sharing of slides, audio, video,
chat and desktops. It is also known for recording lectures for later
playback, specifically the slides + audio + chat and more. As
discussed above the BigBlueButton project was started by Blindside
Networks.
Moreover, our work on
BigBlueButton core as the company has developed this Moodle 2.x
activity module, so you can fully leverage BigBlueButton’s
capabilities from within your courses.
In 2015, pausing to
recording feature has been introduced in the platform for synchronous
communication and the ability to do an audio check before starting a
session and listens only mode and more.
Recently, a new updated
plugin for Moodle 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 was launched by Blindside
