Covid-19 and the resulting global shift to online learning, the BigBlueButton project has seen a HUGE increase in world-wide adoption.<\/p><p>BigBlueButton is now localized into over 55 languages, has over 160 developers who have committed improvements, and has large-scale deployments that host over 180,000 concurrent teachers and students across thousands of simultaneous classes.\u00a0<\/p><p>It has truly become the world\u2019s virtual classroom.<\/p><p>Unlike traditional video conferencing systems that are not designed for virtual classes, BigBlueButton focuses on helping the teacher through a deep integration with major learning management systems (LMS), specific tools (including polling, multi-user whiteboard, and breakout rooms) for engagement, and analytics that act as a \u2018co-pilot\u2019 to assist the teacher during their class to understand which students are participating, engaged, and learning the content (based on responses to

students and leverages that knowledge to facilitate more effective teaching. A common complaint from online teachers is that student progress is much harder to gauge, and requires more mental exertion as the cues readily available in-person become more subtle. Teachers, in order to operate as optimally as possible, should have assistance when teaching online.

For example, if you\u2019re a biology teacher, you may name breakout rooms based on a specific area of study the students are doing such as: \u201cCentral nervous system\u201d, \u201cBrain\u201d, and \u201cSkeletal System\u201d. To give your breakout teams more time, you can now extend the duration of breakout rooms with just a few clicks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-114a08f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"114a08f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9e60ebd\" data-id=\"9e60ebd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aa91c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9aa91c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/poll.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8530 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/512;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-401ae88\" data-id=\"401ae88\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d7ddba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0d7ddba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Anonymous Polling<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5949142 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5949142\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To help spark engagement and participation on potentially sensitive topics, you can now conduct anonymous polls.
