Seamless Integration for seamless use.
Our deep integration with leading Learning Management Systems means your educators can focus on teaching, not technology and multiple logins.
Moodle Integration
We are built into the core of Moodle. The integration of BigBlueButton with Moodle is the deepest integration (we know because we wrote it), making it easy for your educators and students. You get upload of presentations, preset of options and more.

While we have a deep integration with the LMS, we give you an external access to BigBlueButton through a powerful yet elegant and simple interface.

Ensuring Your Success
Success in virtual education requires more than powerful software—it demands a partner who understands the unique challenges of online learning. Blindside Networks understands these challenges. We combine training, support, and analytics to ensure your virtual classes deliver measurable results.
Enterprise Learning Analytics Dashboard (ELAD)
If you really like the LAD (either live in the class or after the session), we also provide the Enterprise Learning Analytics Dashboard to give you insight across your whole organization.
Learn MoreYour Product Input, your Product Road Map
We work with you to understand what your organization needs, and reflect that in the road map for BigBlueButton.
Training and Support as a Foundation
We provide a training session so your educators can benefit from best practices learned from helping organizations world-wide. We even wrote a course on this (for Moodle).
Access Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD) After the Session
While your instructors have access to LAD during the live session, once the session is completed and the recording is available, we provide a second recording format that gives you the final results for LAD.

Partnership for Innovation
Innovation in virtual education comes from understanding the unique needs of each customer.
We go beyond the vendor relationship to work closely with you, as a partner, to understand the needs of your organization and ensure your educators and students are successful.
- Training for your teachers (or the train-the-trainer model) because better education is more than just technology.
- Extending BigBlueButton to present actionable data from the LMS, such as notifying teachers at the start of a session about students who are absent or have missing assignments.
- Automatically transfer recordings to an Amazon S3 bucket to provide direct and easy access to recordings.
- Integrate the analytics from BigBlueButton back into your LMS or database.
We've had five days of virtual learning (AMI days) in North Kansas City Schools this school year. We used BigBlueButton from Blindside Networks to provide the synchronous portion of our instruction. After hundreds of thousands of minutes of this virtual instruction, we are extremely pleased with the product, and support specifically including personalized adjustment as needed from Blindside Networks enabled us to ensure our students had positive learning experience during those days.
