Meetings (Web Conferencing)

Meetings (BigBlueButton) is a web conferencing tool available in Sakai that allows you to communicate with your students remotely.

• You can display presentations, use a white board, use audio and/or a webcam, chat with your students, add polls, and share your device.
  
• Meetings is a synchronous tool, which means users have to be online at the same time to interact.
  
• You can record your Meetings, and students can view the recordings in Sakai.
