Fred is the Co-founder of BigBlueButton Inc, the open source virtual classroom platform built-into the core of Moodle. Unlike a video conferencing system, which leads to passive learning, BigBlueButton offers built-in activities for active learning and live analytics to ensure every student learns. Fred also moonlights as the CEO of Blindside Networks.

At MoodleMoot global 2024, Fred will be presenting BigBlueButton: The Future of Virtual Classrooms built on Pedagogy, AI, and Analytics.
