BigBlueButton: Open Source Software for Online Teaching
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_**Brief: BigBlueButton is an open-source tool for video conferencing tailored for online teaching. Let’s take a look at what it offers.**_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the year 2020, remote working from home is kind of the new normal. Of course, you cannot do everything remotely — but online teaching is something that’s possible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Even though a lot of teachers and school organizations aren’t familiar with all the amazing tools available out there, some of the [best open-source video conferencing tools][1] are filling in the requirements to some extent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Among the ones I mentioned for video calls, [BigBlueButton][2] caught my attention. Here, I’ll give you an overview of what it offers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### BigBlueButton: An Open Source Web Conferencing System for Online Teaching
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BigBlueButton is an open-source web conferencing solution that aims to make online learning easy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is completely free to use but it requires you to set it up on your own server to use it as a full-fledged online learning solution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BigBlueButton offers a really good set of features. You can easily try the [demo instance][4] and set it up on your server for your school.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you get started, take a look at the features:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Features of BigBlueButton
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BigBlueButton provides a bunch of useful features tailored for teachers and schools for online classes, here’s what you get:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Live whiteboard
|
||||||
|
* Public and private messaging options
|
||||||
|
* Webcam support
|
||||||
|
* Session recording support
|
||||||
|
* Emojis support
|
||||||
|
* Ability to group users for team collaboration
|
||||||
|
* Polling options available
|
||||||
|
* Screen sharing
|
||||||
|
* Multi-user support for whiteboard
|
||||||
|
* Ability to self-host it
|
||||||
|
* Provides an API for easy integration on web applications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to the features offered, you will find an easy-to-use UI i.e. [Greenlight][5] (the front-end interface for BigBlueButton) to set up when you configure it on your server.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can try using the demo instance for casual usage to teach your students for free. However, considering the limitations (60 minutes limit) of using the [demo instance][4] to try BigBlueButton, I’d suggest you to host it on your server to explore all the functionality that it offers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To get more clarity on how the features work, you might want to take a look at one of their official tutorials:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installing BigBlueButton On Your Server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
They offer a [detailed documentation][6] which should come in handy for every developer. The easiest and quickest way of setting it up is by using the [bbb-install script][7] but you can also explore other options if that does not work out for you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For starters, you need a server running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS at least. You should take a look at the [minimum requirements][8] before deploying a server for BigBlueButton.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can explore more about the project in their [GitHub page][9].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Try BigBlueButton][2]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you’re someone who’s looking to set up a solution for online teaching, BigBlueButton is a great choice to explore.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It may not offer native smartphone apps — but you can surely access it using the web browser on your mobile. Of course, it’s better to find a laptop/computer to access an online teaching platform — but it works with mobile too.
|
||||||
