A common way to focus learners in an online session is to use a set of slides in the presentation area of BigBlueButton. It is a good practice to convert files to PDF format before uploading a slideshow.
1. Click on the Plus icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. From the menu, choose the Upload/Manage presentations option.
Note: The default.pdf at the top of the menu, which serves as the BigBlueButton Welcome screen, becomes visible only after you have uploaded at least one file. Any other presentations or Shared Notes you have previously displayed in the session will also appear at the top of the menu. The presentation currently being shown is indicated by a check mark in a circle to the right of its file name.
3. The Presentation screen appears.
4. Drag your presentation file into the Drag files here to upload box.
5. The presentation file is highlighted and selected. Click on the Confirm button.
6. Once uploaded, the slideshow appears in the main part of the BigBlueButton screen.
On the right side of the presentation screen, you will find several Annotation tools. At the bottom of the screen, there is a button that allows the instructor to turn whiteboard annotations on or off for other users. The multi-user whiteboard allows users to interact with the presentation area. These features can be used by the instructor while leading a lesson or by learners responding to the instructor's directions. The instructor can see which student is performing an action by the name tag displayed on that student's cursor.
The annotations bar provides options for:
- Styles
- Select
- Hand
- Highlight
- Draw
- Eraser
- Arrow
- Text
- Note
- Rectangle
- Ellipse
- More Shapes
- Actions
The Styles options include colour, shape fill, line design, and font size.
The Actions icon at the bottom of the annotations toolbar provides access to various annotation actions.
The Undo/Redo buttons and the Options menu button are in the top-right corner of the presentation area. The Options menu allows teachers to switch to Fullscreen Presentation, take a Snapshot of the current slide, Hide Toolbars, and Clear Annotations.
Note: By default, students can see all cursor movements and name tags. Teachers can change this setting so that each student sees only their own cursor. This is configured in the Manage Users, Lock viewers area.
Note: At any time during a presentation, a teacher or student can take a snapshot of the current slide by selecting the Options menu in the top-left corner of the presentation area (whether it is annotated or not).
