Extended Abstract
In its 17 sustainable development goals (SDG), UNESCO lists education as goal #4, and access to quality education -- regardless of where anyone lives in the world -- underpins the other 16. The BigBlueButton project is focused on building the next-generation of virtual classrooms. We want to empower teachers to transform student’s lives through remote learning.
BigBlueButton is an open source project and, thanks to our global community, is localized into over 55 languages. We are embedded into Moodle 4.0, Canvas, Jenzabar, Schoology, and D2L.
