Time for action - find and install the Module

The first thing we are going to do is to download the module to your machine.

  1. Open your web browser and go to the webpage http://www.moodle.org.
  2. In the top Menu, you have an option Downloads. Click on this and select the Modules and Plugins option. This brings up the database of modules, and shows the most recent entries in the database.
  3. Click on the Search tab.
  4. Type the word BigBlueButton into the Name field in the search form and click on Save Settings. The page will now load with two options, the Easy Integration with BigBlueButton and the BigBlueButton. For the purpose of these instructions, we will be using the Easy Integration with BigBlueButton created by Fred Dixon (Blindside Networks).
  5. Click on the name of the module you need (in my case Easy Integration with BigBlueButton). This brings up the full view of the module database entry including the type, requirements, status, names of maintainers and other information like the description and links for download.
  6. Under the description, click on the link Download for Moodle 2.0.
  7. This will prompt you to download and save the file somewhere on your machine. The file will be called bbb_activity_module_moodle20.zip.

What just happened?

We have just gone to the Moodle community site, and searched through the modules and plugins for the BigBlueButton integration. We then downloaded the correct version of the integration module to our machine.

Installing the Module

Like the Adobe Connect Pro module, this is an Activity Module. So now that you have the file downloaded, you need to unzip it and then upload the mod folder to the mod section of the Moodle site.
