This presentation will demonstrate best practices for using BigBlueButton for delivering live on-line classes to remote students from within Moodle. BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for distance education. It compliments Moodle by providing a synchronous on-line learning environment (one-to-one, small group collaboration, and one-to-many). The presentation will cover the setup and integration of BigBlueButton within Moodle (it’s easy with the Moodle plug-in), how to create BigBlueButton rooms from within a course, best practices for delivery of on-line courses to remote students, and how to manage the recordings after the class is over. Both presenters have worked on the BigBlueButton open source project for years and are the co-authors of the BigBlueButtonBN Moodle integration.
