K-12 Education
Ensure Every Student Learns
Deliver Virtual Classes
K-12 students need engagement and feedback to learn effectively.
Generic video conferencing systems force teachers to cobble together multiple tools and logins, creating complexity and frustration. The classroom is not a boardroom – your virtual teaching platform shouldn’t act like one.
The companies behind Moodle, Canvas, and Schoology have built BigBlueButton into the core of their product — meaning there is no external login, no external software for students to install.
With built-in tools for classroom management, active learning, and live analytics, BigBlueButton empowers teachers to deliver impactful virtual lessons that measurably increase learning outcomes for every student.
One click polling
BigBlueButton’s Smart Slides capability transforms your existing slides into a live polling tool instantly — saving you time, increasing engagement and, when using the Learning Analytics Dashboard (see below), giving you insight into which students may be struggling or excelling.
Visual Assessment for visual learning
Have students point, draw, or annotate shared whiteboard. See real-time responses without peer influence, such as “Point at which planet is closest to the sun?”, fostering individual accountability and quick comprehension checks.
A whiteboard that is powerful, elegant, and multi-user.
Control Your Classroom
