Unzip the module download file using your available application. This should create a folder called bbb_activity_module_moodle20
. Inside this folder, there is a mod
folder which contains the actual bigbluebutton
folder of files.
mod
folder inside your Moodle installation and to the mod
folder in your bbb_activity_module_moodle20
folder.mod/bigbluebutton
folder and upload this to the mod
folder on the Moodle server.However, if you have your own server setup, or a hosted server to which you have the URL and Security Salt settings, you should use them here.
After we had downloaded the BigBlueButton
module from the Moodle website, we had to unpack it (unzip it) and then upload the files (mod
) to the Moodle site with FTP.
Once uploaded, we logged into our Moodle website as administrator and triggered the installation of the module using the Upgrade button. This created any database tables required to run the module and then enabled the block by activating it within Moodle.
We then entered in the key configuration information which we would have got from the BigBlueButton Server Administrator or chosen to leave the test settings as they were.
Finally, we saved the settings and are now ready to create a BigBlueButton activity within our Moodle course.
The BigBlueButton Meeting Module has some different features from the Adobe Connect Pro Module. This is a very simple integration. There are other more complex integrations available, and you may want to assess the other ones at some other time.
The BigBlueButton Module interacts with the BigBlueButton server over web services allowing an admin or teacher to schedule a meeting as a Moodle activity. The user management takes place with Moodle so that students do not require a second login. Students will join the virtual classroom as a viewer, and the admins or teachers on Moodle will join as moderators.
