To provide BigBlueButton (BBB), which is available to all schools and colleges/universities in Rhineland-Palatinate, ZDV temporarily used up to 500 nodes from MOGON II. Especially the closed schools that count on video conferencing for distance learning due to the pandemic, benefit from the additional resources. The computing power temporarily provided for BBB will be returned to scientific computing through new hardware purchases in the future.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Science, Education and Culture (MWWK) and the Ministry of Education of Rhineland-Palatinate, the ZDV offers the open-source web conferencing system BigBlueButton to all universities/colleges and schools in Rhineland-Palatinate.
