Moodle Integration

Moodle’s mission is to empower educators to improve our world. 

That’s our mission as well.

The goal virtual training is not to meet. It is to learn.

Moodle is the world’s most adopted and configurable learning management system (LMS). However, using generic video-conferencing tools for virtual classes creates barriers – they lack meaningful integration with Moodle and lead to passive learning and lower outcomes.

In contrast, BigBlueButton is deeply integrated into the core of Moodle, saving you time, giving you more analytics, and works closely with Moodle to help you achieve the goal that matters most: increase learning outcomes.

Seamless Integration Benefits

Work with Blindside Networks to drive training ROI with comprehensive analytics that give both trainers and leadership the insights needed to optimize learning outcomes and ensure compliance standards are met consistently across the organization.

Streamline access

Students and instructors access BigBlueButton directly through Moodle’s familiar interface, eliminating separate logins and reducing support effort.

Save preperation time

Educators can save preparation time by pre-loading content – your presentation is ready when class begins.

Manage recordings within Moodle

No separate application to manage recordings. Everything happens within Moodle: you can set visibility of recordings and import recordings from other lectures.

Support Compliance Requirements with

Customize your Teaching Environment

Create collaboration rooms for students

You can control mapping of roles from Moodle to BigBlueButton, giving you the ability to give students permission to start and join sessions for collaboration outside of class without needing their own license.

Automatic notification of upcoming sessions

You can configure the BigBlueButton integration to notify students minutes, hours, or even days before an upcoming virtual class to improve attendance.

Automatic activity completion

Moodle provides powerful activity completion criteria. The BigBlueButton integration extends Moodle’s activity completion with metrics from the virtual class, such “mark activity as completed when the student has attended for at least 90 minutes and has responded to polls” .

Data-Driven Learning Insights

Blindside Networks extends the integration to enable two-way analytics sharing. This provides educators with actionable Moodle data during class, while giving administrators comprehensive reports across all virtual classrooms.

Built-in Attendance

BigBlueButton can report on absent students throughout the class. Your days of manually taking attendance are over.

Actionable insights from Moodle

BigBlueButton can display additional information passed in from Moodle — such as the number of times a student has taken a virtual class — to help instructor personalize the student’s learning.

View unified reports for course-wide insights

At the end of each virtual class, BigBlueButton can send analytical data back to Moodle, giving you a wholistic view of student learning activity across both systems.
