Apache OpenMeetings

Apache OpenMeetings Product Details

Apache OpenMeetings by Apache Software Foundation is purpose‑built virtual classroom software its primary job is to run live lessons with video, interactive whiteboards, and real‑time engagement tools, not generic meetings. Teachers can start class with one click, admit students from a lobby, and automatically record sessions for learners who miss the live event. Pedagogy‑first features include breakout rooms for group work, hand‑raise queues, polls, and quick quizzes to check understanding. Shared whiteboards support ink, shapes, math, and media embeds; screen‑share with co‑annotation lets students demonstrate thinking. Attendance, participation heatmaps, and time‑on‑task reports help instructors intervene early when learners disengage. Device and network realities are handled under the hood: adaptive bitrate keeps video stable, dial‑in or low‑bandwidth modes include more students, and recording/transcoding produce accessible replays with captions. Moderation tools (mute‑all, lock chat, waiting room) keep sessions orderly; content filters and reporting controls support school policies. Integrations tie the classroom to the learning stack. With LTI/SSO, courses and rosters sync from your LMS; calendar invites and gradebook exports reduce manual work. Open APIs and webhooks (where available) connect analytics and attendance to SIS or HR systems for compliance and funding audits. Implementation tip: pilot with one cohort, pre‑load scenes/whiteboard templates, and train facilitators on breakout timing and cold‑call norms. Teams typically cut setup friction, increase participation, and create a predictable rhythm that mirrors an in‑person classroom while taking advantage of digital affordances.
