Bayaan Live Classes

Overview

At Bayaan Academy, we use BigBlueButton (BBB). BigBlueButton is an open-source web conferencing system for online learning. As BBB is a synchronous audio and video conferencing system for multiple users, certain steps have to be followed to ensure optimal experience for all users.

• Arrive to the meeting room early

• Prepare necessary files(slides,worksheets) for your classes beforehand

• Instructors should work from a desktop/Laptop to moderate the meeting

• Use a headset

• Use a stable internet connection

• Test your hardware and software in advance

• Record the meeting as soon as you start the class

• End the meeting once done(closing the tab won’t end the session)

You should be able to use recent versions of any of the major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari Mobile. For best results on (private) desktop and laptop computers, it is recommended that you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. For Chromebooks, we recommend the built-in Chrome browser.

If you are an instructor, BigBlueButton helps you engage students with:

• Multi-user whiteboard

• Breakout rooms (group and individual)

• Chat (public and private)

• Polling

• Shared notes

• Randomly selecting a student

• Emojis

The presenter is an extra layer of privileges that gives any user the ability to

• Upload slides

• Use the whiteboard to annotate any side

• Enable/disable multi-user whiteboard

• Start a poll

• Share a YouTube, vimeo, peertube, or Canvas Studio video

• Share their screen
