What are Conferences?

Conferences are primarily used for virtual lectures, virtual office hours, and student groups. They can also be used to demonstrate technologies or troubleshoot technology issues online. For best performance,

Conferences should be limited to 100 users or fewer. The Astria LMS integrates with BigBlueButton.

Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.

When would I use Conferences as an instructor?

Use Conferences to:

1. Connect with your students for online office hours or study sessions designed to help them prepare for a test.
   
2. Connect with your colleagues for professional development webinars.
   
3. Practice presenting online. Students can set up practice presentations in their student Groups.
   
4. Invite special guests to your classroom by adding them as a student or observer to your course.
   
5. Broadcast a live event or lecture to the students that can't be onsite.
   
6. Record your conferences so students can view them at a later date. Recordings are automatically deleted 7 days after the conference ends.
