Service Description

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system designed primarily to compliment online learning, however is comparable to other business oriented web conferencing such as Zoom, Jit.si, etc.

Apereo's implementation of BigBlueButton supports online events (OpenApereo, training, etc.) as well as virtual team meetings, board and committee meetings, project conferences and development meetings, and general online meetings hosted/initiated by members of the foundation and its projects.

Service and Support

Implementation

Apereo has a BigBlueButton front-end portal where  anyone with an @apereo.org email address can sign in and create a room. The portal interface allows Apereo users to create four custom rooms ("Board Room - 1", "Board Room - 2", etc.) and share the moderator privileges with others with @apereo.com email address.

This portal gives the organization the flexibility to set up and manage additional rooms beyond the default rooms already set up on Apereo's standard BigBlueButton landing page ("Apereo Room – 1," "Apereo Room – 2," "Apereo Room – 3," "Apereo Room – 4," "Board Room – 1," "Apereo Room – 1," "Sakai QA Room," "uPortal Room," and "Board Room").

Additional information is available on Blindside Network's Support Documentation, "Overview of Personal Rooms interface."
