Bongo Plugin Description

Bongo is a Video Assessment platform built around synchronous and asynchronous learning to facilitate soft skills development at scale. The Bongo Moodle plugin enables access to YouSeeU Bongo Learn (c). The plugin creates a free Bongo trial subscription. A paid Bongo subscription is required for ongoing use.
