Case Study: Technological Institute of the Philippines enhances virtual classroom learning with BigBlueButton

T.I.P. Blends with BigBlueButton in the Philippines

The Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP), a school specializing in engineering and computing, needed to quickly transition to online learning during the pandemic. While they had already chosen Canvas as their LMS, they had not yet selected a dedicated online platform and were evaluating various tools to find the best solution for blended learning.

They implemented BigBlueButton as their main virtual classroom platform, deeply integrated with their Canvas LMS. Key features like the multi-user whiteboard, random student selector, emoji reactions, and polling were praised for enhancing engagement and collaboration. The institution has since hosted over 150,000 online classes with BigBlueButton. Administrators specifically commended the platform's scalability and the valuable analytics provided through the LMS integration, which helped track student participation and learning development.
