Moodle as CMS + Video Conferencing?

Moodle as CMS + Video Conferencing?

Hi Everyone,

Can I get someone's opinion on this. 
We have a large faculty that we would to have a platform to share and manage documents AND at the same time be able to have a video-conferencing within the platform itself. I know Moodle has a CMS (Content Management System) capability, but doesn't allow video conferencing. Are there plugins that allow video-conferencing in Moodle?

If not possible in Moodle, any suggestions for other subscription-based platforms that offer BOTH content management AND video-conferencing at the same time that some of you know or used by their school.


Thank you in advance,
James

Hi James,

Yes, there are plugins that integrate video conferencing in Moodle! One example is BigBlueButtonBN, as used in MoodleCloud.

I am moving your post to the Web conferencing plugins forum for other web conferencing users to hopefully respond.
