Installing BigBlueButton + Moodle
Installation of BigBlueButton + Moodle systems requires no special knowledge and is available to any user. When creating a server, in addition to the standard parameters you will be asked to specify:

FAQ
With Moodle, you can create courses for any field because it's not only possible to work with text, but also to upload images, videos, and audio files (for example, video tutorials on working in applications, training, or short lectures). You can also hold master classes in webinar format using the integrated BigBlueButton service.
Moodle supports the following content types and formats: text files (doc, pdf, xls, csv); images (jpeg, png, gif); videos (flv, f4v, f4p, mp4, m4v, m4a, 3gp, mov); audio (mp3, aac, flac, m4a, oga, ogg, wav).
Moreover, you can transfer into Moodle courses previously created by other course builders. To do this, upload them as a SCORM archive.
It depends on how ready the program and learning materials are, how quickly you understand the system, and can technically implement the idea.
The Moodle interface is simple and intuitive. Work with files is arranged on the principle of drag-n-drop. That is, when creating an online course, you just drag and drop files to where you want.
You can find answers to the most popular questions in Documentation (Moodle) or Instructions (BigBlueButton).
