This is an excellent initiative. I had some informal chat with Pravin regarding this a few months ago, but that never materialized. At our department, we have been using jitsi meet over an year now virtually without any issue. I would like to only add that recorded lectures are usually good enough but are still secondary to the live lectures in terms of quality because the instructor cannot ask questions before explaining a particular concept. I will also be teaching a class in IISER Pune this time, and even such premier institute has not thought about their own BBB server, and has instead resorted to Google classroom. What I find is that the problems with the non-free softwares are not well appreciated even by the computer literates.
Thanks for sharing your example, I think highlighting Free Software video conferencing solutions already in use in education institutions will encourage more institutions to try it.
I think we should add a case studies section with quotes from students and teachers.
I will think more about the content and will write here so that we all could discuss before finalizing. Thanks so much for the initiative.
Best regards, SS
