We believe the most effective virtual classroom is one that maximizes time for applied learning and feedback.
How do our brains learn? Learning occurs in stages (think Bloom’s Taxonomy). Competency and mastery comes from taking a basic-understanding of something and putting effort into applying it, struggling with it, and reaching deeper understanding as a result.
We believe that the platform for delivering effective virtual classes should be pedagogic centric, not video-centric. Video is good for building relationships and trust, but real learning occurs when students have opportunities to apply their knowledge.
The goal of the virtual classroom is not to meet, it is to learn. BigBlueButton gives you built-in tools for applied learning (no need for 3rd party websites), live analytics to see who is struggling, and an interface designed to save you time during your class so you have more time to help students through their learning journey.
BigBlueButton is a global teaching platform. It was developed in a school, not in a boardroom. Making it the only virtual classroom built from the ground up, just for teachers.
It’s available in 65 languages and teachers all over the world have contributed to its design. Along with a global network of developers and companies providing commercial support, BigBlueButton is continuously evolving to meet the new real-world needs of teachers everywhere.
When we make teaching easier, we improve student outcomes.
Synchronous learning tools should feel like part of your learning management system (LMS). Instructure, Schoology, Jenzabar and D2L all ship their LMS with a native integration for BigBlueButton, and Moodle and Sakai have offer plugins for deep integration. And BigBlueButton is learning tools interoperability (LTI) 1.0 compliant for widest adoption.

BigBlueButton’s simple application programming interface (API) makes it easy to integrate with your own products.
Thank you for creating BigBlueButton. It's a great Open Source software which has saved many lives. I use it for my lectures all the time, and the special features for interacting such as shared notes, whiteboard, polling (also anonymous polls) are great. There is no conference software which meets that.
