A single BigBlueButton session can be reused as often as you like. If you are delivering a daily Live session, it would be beneficial to create one BigBlueButton activity/session each week. Therefore, students can enter the week 1 sessions from the one location each day. This will help students to find the right session and avoid confusion.
