Features

[Rob Dickson]

Hey guys we just deployed BBB for our K12 virtual school and I got some feedback from some of our teachers on some features.  Do you guys know if any of these are available?

• whiteboard
• more than 1 student can write at a time
• typing feature (right now, it looks like students only have access to a pen tool)
• calculator

Maybe some of these features are already there, but we just don't know how to locate them.

Hi Rob,

> Hey guys we just deployed BBB for our K12 virtual school

Nice!  Welcome to the BigBlueButton community.

> whiteboard

There is a whiteboard in BigBlueButton, see the presenter overview video

> more than 1 student can write at a time

We don't have that ability at the moment, but it's been asked by others and there is a good chance you'll see it in a subsequent release.  See

> typing feature (right now, it looks like students only have access to a pen tool)

In the current development version we have added a text tool to the whiteboad.  See

> calculator

This is the first time we've been asked about having a calculator in BigBlueButton.  To be honest, I can't see us doing this one as it's such a common feature on pretty much every desktop. 

Thanks for your questions.  Regards,... Fred
