Integrate BigBlueButton within Moodle - including record and playback of sessions. on 04-08-2020 3:50 pmBigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. The goal of the project is to enable instructors to effectively engage remote students. The project supports live online classes, virtual office hours, and group collaboration with remote students.
BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of slides (including whiteboard), audio, video, chat, emojis, breakout rooms, and screen. It also record all content for later playback.
Like Moodle, BigBlueButton is open source. The BigBlueButton project was started in 2008 by Blindside Networks. In addition our work on BigBlueButton core, we created this BigBlueButtonBN Moodle plugin so you can fully leverage BigBlueButton's capabilities from within your Moodle site.
The BigBlueButtonBN plugin enables you to:- Create multiple activity links to online sessions within any course
- Restrict students from joining a session until a teacher (moderator) joins the session
- Launch BigBlueButton in a separate window
- Create a custom welcome message that appears at the top of the chat window when joining the session
- Specify join open/close dates for the session that appears in the Moodle's calendar
- Record a session
- Access and manage recordings
