Documentation:Web Conferencing

=Overview=

Web conferencing tools allow you to connect with students from a distance and also share documents, display your screen on participants' monitors (and vice versa), and allow remote students to give presentations to you and your class. You may also use web conferencing tools to host guest speakers to your class for a conversation without them having to travel to Kamloops.

Big Blue Button
TRU supports the use of Big Blue Button, an open source web conferencing tool. Big Blue Button is integrated with both Blackboard Learn and Moodle, making it easy for instructors to create and deploy sessions with just a few clicks.

Blackboard Learn
To create a web conferencing session in Blackboard Learn, make sure the 'Edit Mode' is on, navigate to your homepage or another content area, hover over 'Tools', and choose 'Big Blue Button'.
