BigBlueButton is a free software virtual classroom software program designed for online education. It is primarily accessed through Learning Management Systems, providing engagement tools and analytics which enable educators to interact with their students remotely.
== History == The project was started at Carleton University in 2007 by the Technology Innovation Management program. The first version, initially referred to as the Blindside project, was written by Richard Alam under the supervision of Tony Bailetti. BigBlueButton is an affiliate member of the Open Source Initiative. The BigBlueButton name derives from the idea that starting a web conference should be as simple as "pressing a (metaphorical) big blue button".
