Combler le fossé : comment intégrer BigBlueButton à Canvas LMS
Good day! In this how-to I will show you how to integrate BigBlueButton web conferencing system and Canvas LMS (canvas learning management system). As a starting point I have two servers – one server with the latest version of Canvas LMS and the other server with the latest version of BigBlueButton installed on it.
L'intégration Canvas/BigBlueButton est un processus simple et direct.
1. Tout d’abord, recherchez l’URL et le sel de l’API BigBlueButton (clé secrète). Demandez à votre Hébergement BigBlueButton fournisseur ou exécutez la commande suivante sur votre serveur BigBlueButton :
$ bbb-conf --salt
L'URL et le sel ressembleront à ceci :
URL: https://bbbdemo.webhostingzone.org/bigbluebutton/
Secret: DUFSeEyrBLk7BBEpFhCVk3pFpU8bv2
2. Now you can configure BigBlueButton plugin in Canvas. Go to Canvas > Site Admin > Plugins > BigBlueButton. Enter a domain name and salt into the plugin settings. Save changes. Note: Bigbluebutton url looks like https://bbb.example.com/bigbluebutton/. You need to enter only “bbb.example.com” in Canvas BBB plugin settings.
3. BigBlueButton and Canvas LMS have different freeswitch “destination_number” format. To make audio working in BigBlueButton you need to edit two files:
Modifiez /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_echo_test.xml et changez le texte en gras
<extension name="bbb_echo_test_direct">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^9196$|^9196(\d{5,20})$">
Modifiez /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_conference.xml et modifiez le texte en gras à deux endroits :
<extension name="bbb_conferences_ws">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">
.
<extension name="bbb_conferences">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">
Après avoir apporté les modifications ci-dessus, redémarrez BigBlueButton.
4. At this point you should be able to create a new conference in Canvas LMS. To create a conference go to a course created in Canvas > Conferences > New Conference.
