BBB, the open source virtual classroom web conferencing solution for online learning, supports Educators in their engagement with remote students. The next release of the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), Moodle 4.0, will feature BBB as a standard integration. \u00a0It will enable Educators and Instructors to measure, manage and improve student engagement in a \u00a0live environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Let\u2019s explore the history of BBB, its relationship with Moodle LMS over the years, and take a peek at what BBB will deliver in Moodle 4.0.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

How BBB started<\/h2>\n\n

Back in 2007, Carleton University, a publish research university in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is the place where BigBlueButton (BBB)<\/a> was first created. Designed for the Education sector, unlike many proprietary products that were designed for business, it was the first open source solution for virtual classrooms. The name was chosen as it represented how easy BBB was to use, simply press the big blue button.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

BBB and Moodle LMS\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

Early in BBB\u2019s development, the BBB Team identified that integration with open source LMS, Moodle<\/a>, was a priority. \u00a0 They envisaged that the integration would give Moodle the second of two key learning components:<\/p>\n\n

Asynchronous learning – provided by MoodleLMS<\/h4>\n\n

Asynchronous learning is not constrained by time and place. \u00a0It is education and learning among a group of people sharing information and resources, but not simultaneously. \u00a0Prior to having technology for synchronous learning environments, most online education took place through asynchronous learning methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Sychnronous learning \u00a0– provided by BBB virtual classroom tool<\/h4>\n\n

Synchronous learning is live, interactive learning, where the educator or instructor can engage with a group of students at the same time. \u00a0The benefits of synchronous learning include the ability to build relationships, collaborate and learn from peers. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

A BBB\u00a0Moodle plugin was developed to support easy integration. The solution is a Certified Moodle Integration<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

BBB Moodle plugin<\/h3>\n\n

Now, in 2021, the BBB plugin is one of the most popular Moodle LMS plugins. \u00a0At time of writing, it is installed on 20,677 Moodle sites<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Functionality<\/h4>\n\n

The plugin was created to enable Moodle users to leverage BBB\u2019s capabilities from within the Moodle site itself. Here’s a selection of its key functionality: \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
