How to create a virtual classroom in Bubble.io: Step-by-Step Guide

 

Sign up or log in to your Bubble.io account and create a new app or use an existing one where you want to implement the virtual classroom.

 

Design the user interface by going to the 'Design' tab in Bubble.

• Use 'Visual elements' like Text, Button, Input Forms, and Groups to create the layout for your virtual classroom.
• Add elements like 'Repeating Group' to list available classes or sessions.
• Consider using 'Floating Groups' to allocate space for the video chat interface.

 

Integrate user authentication to enable users to sign up, log in, and manage their accounts.

• Drag a 'Signup/Login' form onto your page from the 'Visual elements'.
• Set up workflows for user registration and login.

 

Add Video Chat functionality using a plugin like 'Twilio Video Chat' to facilitate real-time communication.

• Install the 'Twilio Video Chat' plugin from the 'Plugins' tab.
• Draw a video chat window by dragging the Video Chat element into your app interface from the 'Visual elements' palette.
• Configure the plugin with your Twilio account credentials (you'll need an Account SID and Auth Token from Twilio, and generate an API Key in your Twilio console).

 

Set up workflows to control the video chat.

• Use actions such as 'Start a room,' 'Join a room,' 'Leave a room,' 'End a room,' 'Mute microphone,' 'Show video,' and 'Share screen' to control the video chat functionality in your virtual classroom.
• Define dynamic fields such as 'Room name' and 'Participant identifier' to differentiate between rooms and users.

 

Add additional features like a whiteboard, file sharing, or chat. You may need additional plugins or to build these functionalities using Bubble's built-in elements and workflows.

 

Test your virtual classroom by previewing the app. Ensure all features like user sign up, joining a class, video chat, and any additional features work as intended.

 

Once tested, deploy your app by going to the 'Deploy' tab and selecting 'Launch Current Version Live.'
