BigBlueButton is an open source project that is built on over fourteen open source components to create an integrated web conferencing system that runs on mac, unix, or PC computers.
It is a very ideal application for presentations as users can upload PDF or office documents & keep everyone in sync with their current page, zoom, pan, mouse pointer etc.
BigBlueButton
There are 3 Roles:
Viewer: are users who have no authority within the conference; their primary role is to view the presentation as well as chat amongst other participants. In a course the viewer would be the students.
Presenter: has all the same capabilities as a participant, with the added features of uploading presentations and sharing their desktop.
Moderator: has all the capabilities as a participant, with the added features of uploading presentations and sharing their desktop.
BigBlueButton completely relies on open source technologies & it can be improved further with the API provided.
