Overview
BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom designed for teaching and learning online. It shares audio, video, slides with whiteboard annotations, chat and the screen in real time, and can record sessions for playback. It installs on Ubuntu with a script.
What it does well
Instructors can engage students with polls, emojis, multi-user whiteboards, shared notes and breakout rooms. It suits one-to-one tutoring, flipped classrooms, group collaboration and online classes, and integrates with learning platforms through its API.
Why it’s in the collection
BigBlueButton is built for teaching rather than meetings, with the classroom tools general video apps lack. It is LGPL-licensed.
