Using Conferences (Big Blue Button) as a Student

What is Big Blue Button?

Big Blue Button makes it easy to meet with your instructor and other students in synchronous (real-time) discussions within your course. Your instructor may invite you to course-wide conferences or set up personal conferences. Conferences allow you to broadcast real-time audio, and video or share presentation slides and other online resources. To access a conference, click Conferences in the left navigation of the course OR if the conference is part of a group, click People in the course navigation OR click Groups in the global navigation.
