BigBlueButton is one of FSCJ’s supported conferencing tools in Canvas. We’ve been using the tool since we transitioned over to Canvas, but it is even more important now that so many courses and lectures are being taught online. So, it’s only fitting that with more usage and feedback comes new feature updates. If you’re familiar with the tool and have explored it since the term began, you may have seen a few new options and a brand-new Learning Dashboard within the open-source tool.
