Moodle Adobe Connect
This Moodle LMS integration provides seamless use of Adobe Connect Pro directly in Moodle.This is done by adding an activity instance and providing the meeting name, url (optional), start time, end time, meeting template and a public or private meeting setting.
With single-sign-on technology, users who have logged into Moodle will not have to enter Adobe Connect Credentials to access the Moodle webinar or meeting. When provided access through the meeting link, it's a simple click of a button and away you go!
Additionally, you have the ability to create three roles: Adobe Connect Host, Presenter, and Participant in Moodle, to reflect the roles on Adobe Connects’ server. When users are assigned roles within Moodle, they are automatically given these roles when they log into the webinar. This Moodle integration also provides you with the ability access webinar and meeting recordings directly through Moodle, so administrators and teachers never have to leave the site.

Big Blue Button
BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system designed for distance education or training. Using either the free version, or paid version, BigBlueButton is a dynamic conferencing system that enables you to deliver a high-quality learning experience to remote learners.
