Moodle Integration The BigBlueButtonBN activity module allows you to easily create, manage, and join BigBlueButton sessions from within Moodle 2.X. The plug-in also supports record and playback in BigBlueButton 0.80. "We prefer that our users choose software that specialises in those features and use it alongside Moodle. Fortunately, with BigBlueButton, the world finally has a powerful and clean open source solution that works great and integrates seamlessly with Moodle, from a team that is concentrated on doing one thing well, like us. We use BigBlueButton ourselves for our Moodle developer meetings! Congrats on the 0.80 release, guys - keep it up!" -- Martin Dougiamas, creator of Moodle.

Sakai Integration The Sakai Meeting Tool integration gives Sakai users the ability to easily create, manage and join BigBlueButton sessions from within a Sakai worksite. The meeting tool allows users to access the recordings from within Sakai. "The release of the latest version of BigBlueButton 0.80, bringing closer integration with Sakai in support of real-time lecture broadcast and recording, and it significantly strengthens the choice of open source solutions for distance learning available to our community ." -- Ian Dolphin, Executive Director, Sakai Foundation
