BigBlueButtonBN Activity Module for Moodle

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system that enables universities and colleges to deliver a high-quality learning experience to remote students.

These instructions describe how to install the BigBlueButtonBN Activity Module for Moodle. This module is developed and supported by Blindside Networks, the company that started the BigBlueButton project in 2007.

With the latest version of this plugin you can

  • Create links in any course that can be used to create rooms/sessions in a BigBlueButton server
  • Specify join open/close dates that will appear in the Moodle calendar
  • Create a custom welcome messages that appears in the chat window when users join the session
  • Launch BigBlueButton in its own tab or window
  • Assign the role uses will have in BigBlueButton (moderator, viewer) per user or role in Moodle
  • Pre-upload presentations
  • Monitor the active sessions for the course and end any session (eject all users)
  • Record and playback your lectures
  • Access and manage recorded lectures
  • Import recording links from a different course, and more.

You need:

Blindside Networks provides you a test BigBlueButton server for testing this plugin. To use this test server, just accept the default settings when configuring the activity module. The default settings are

url: http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/
