Case Study: Xnet helps Barcelona schools protect student privacy with BigBlueButton

Barcelona Schools Put Their Hands Up For Open Source

The customer, Xnet, a digital activist group in Barcelona, faced the challenge of finding a privacy-focused alternative to commercial educational software for local schools concerned with student data collection. They partnered with the open-source web conferencing vendor BigBlueButton to be part of a solution.

The solution was the 'Democratic Digitisation' suite, which integrated BigBlueButton alongside other open-source tools. This provided a secure, auditable, and customizable virtual classroom platform. The successful pilot in three Barcelona schools led the City Council to expand the program, with interest growing across Spain. The vendor BigBlueButton was instrumental in delivering a high-quality online education experience that protects privacy.
