The 4th annual BigBlueButton World Conference is scheduled for June 25, 26, and 27 from 14:00 to 17:55 UTC.  The conference is fully online and is hosted using BigBlueButton (of course!).

BigBlueButton World is a global gathering of teachers, instructors, developers, commercial companies, educational organizations, and students to share knowledge and experience around the efforts to make quality online education accessible worldwide.

BigBlueButton is an open source virtual classroom that provides built-in tools for active learning and live analytics to increase learning outcomes for every student.

The BigBlueButton ecosystem has been growing in India, France, Germany, the United States, and other countries due to its deep integration with popular learning management systems, such as Moodle, Canvas, Schoology, and others (both native and LTI integration).

Themes

This conference will span three days. The themes include:

• Responsible uses of AI in education (no surprise here!)
• Pedagogy in the virtual classroom
• Administering and scaling BigBlueButton
• BigBlueButton’s plug-in architecture
• Integration with other LMS systems and educational tools (such as H5P)
