Colmare il divario: come integrare BigBlueButton con 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'integrazione Canvas/BigBlueButton è un processo semplice e diretto.
1. Prima di tutto trova l'URL dell'API BigBlueButton e salt (chiave segreta). Chiedi al tuo Hosting di BigBlueButton provider o esegui il comando successivo sul tuo server BigBlueButton:
$ bbb-conf --salt
L'URL e il sale appariranno così:
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:
Modifica /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_echo_test.xml e cambia il testo in grassetto
<extension name="bbb_echo_test_direct">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^9196$|^9196(\d{5,20})$">
Modifica /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_conference.xml e cambia il testo in grassetto in due punti:
<extension name="bbb_conferences_ws">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">
.
<extension name="bbb_conferences">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">
Dopo aver apportato le modifiche precedenti, riavvia 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.
