For Online Learning and Conferences
Features of BigBlueButton Integration Module
Unified Login and Authentication
This module links the school management system with BigBlueButton using single sign-on (SSO). Teachers, students, and administrators can access their online sessions directly from the school platform, avoiding the need to create or manage separate BigBlueButton accounts.
Automated Student Authentication and Attendance
The system ensures only authenticated students can join BigBlueButton sessions. Attendance is tracked automatically during online classes, and the data is synchronized with the school’s attendance management system, offering real-time tracking of student participation.
LMS and Class Synchronization
BigBlueButton seamlessly integrates with the Learning Management System (LMS) for scheduling and managing virtual classes. Subject mapping, subscriptions, and class enrollments are synced, ensuring only subscribed or enrolled students can access the relevant online lessons. Additionally, if a student falls behind on subscription payments, the system can automatically suspend access to BigBlueButton sessions.
Teacher and Staff Management
Teachers can easily schedule, manage, and conduct their virtual classes or meetings via BigBlueButton, directly through the school management platform. This allows teachers to focus on delivering quality education without juggling multiple systems.
Parent Monitoring and Notifications
Parents can view their child’s participation in BigBlueButton sessions through the parent portal, giving them a clear view of their child’s online attendance and engagement. This helps parents stay connected and involved in their child’s academic journey.
Support for Online Conferences and Webinars
BigBlueButton is ideal for conducting online school events, including parent-teacher meetings, staff discussions, and training sessions. Schools can manage and schedule these events through the system, ensuring efficient coordination and communication.
Automated Alerts and Reminders
The system is equipped to send automatic reminders and notifications about upcoming BigBlueButton sessions via email or SMS to students, teachers, and parents. This ensures timely attendance and engagement in online activities.
