BigBlueButton is a virtual classroom designed for online education. Although BigBlueButton has a Whiteboard and built-in Video Calling, their platform doesn't support nearly as many interactive/collaborative learning tools as what can be found within Pencil Spaces.

The chart provided below touches upon what sets Pencil Spaces apart from BigBlueButton, and other virtual learning platforms.

Pencil Spaces is a platform designed with educators in mind, with the goal of creating a collaborative workspace that sparks active learning within the virtual classroom. Tools such as our collaborative App Library, Google Suites and Microsoft integration, Auto-Saving boards, and Webviewer create a Space that supports all types of learning styles.

These tools that don’t extend to BigBlueButton are what make Pencil Spaces the virtual learning platform of choice.

If you have any further questions about what makes Pencil Spaces stand out from other learning tools, our support team is always happy to help!
