We just heard GREAT NEWS from the BigBlueButton Project – they are working on an HTML 5 client! This is exciting news since many of our schools and teachers are purchasing iPads. With the new HTML5 client these iPads will now benefit from BBB web conferencing. Fred Dixon of BigBlueButton has worked tirelessly to make BBB one of the best open source projects. During the few years I have known Fred, he has been incredibly active in promoting and solving problems with BBB users. I have no doubt that his team will deliver the goods with a new HTML 5 user interface. From installation to usage, BigBlueButton is top notch and fully integrated with many popular web apps like Sakia, Moodle, WordPress, Joomla, and more.
Dearborn Public Schools will be working with BigBlueButton to help test the HTML5 client. We have several hundred iPads and utilize BigBlueButton with Moodle and WordPress.
