    These are excerpts from the article:
    Online education has the potential to provide students everywhere with access to the best teachers, the best course materials and the best learning environment, but there are barriers. "Travel is expensive. The goal was to allow remote students to attend classes without travel. The TIM program started using a commercial web-conferencing system to reach remote students, but it was also expensive."

    Hence,

    BigBlueButton is designed to help educational institutions provide remote students with a high-quality online learning experience. This project enables real-time sharing of audio, video, slides, desktops and chat. It is designed to deliver one-on-one sessions, small group collaboration and online courses with up to 50 students.

    Again as is the case with most DH projects,

    BigBlueButton is a great story of leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, collaboration and community engagement,"
