BigBlueButton ir Canvas LMS savarankiškai priglobta integracija

Atotrūkio mažinimas: kaip integruoti „BigBlueButton“ su „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.

„Canvas“ / „BigBlueButton“ integravimas yra lengvas ir nesudėtingas procesas.

1. Pirmiausia suraskite BigBlueButton API URL ir druską (slaptą raktą). Paklausk savo BigBlueButton priegloba teikėjas arba paleiskite kitą komandą savo BigBlueButton serveryje:

$ bbb-conf --salt

URL ir druska atrodys taip:

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:

Redaguokite /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_echo_test.xml ir pakeiskite tekstą paryškintu šriftu

<extension name="bbb_echo_test_direct">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^9196$|^9196(\d{5,20})$">

Redaguokite /opt/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/bbb_conference.xml ir pakeiskite paryškintą tekstą dviejose vietose:

<extension name="bbb_conferences_ws">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">
.
<extension name="bbb_conferences">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{5,20})$">

Atlikę aukščiau nurodytus pakeitimus, iš naujo paleiskite „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.
