Case Study With Ithaca College
Chrissy Guest, film producer and professor at Ithaca College, reveals how educators can successfully introduce professional film production workflows, AI‑supported planning tools, and industry‑standard collaboration practices in the classroom.
Script Import
Students can create or import scripts and learn the essentials of breakdowns, from managing environments, sets and script pages to tagging elements like characters, costumes and props.
What our educators have to say
"Yamdu really helps to provide a structure for the students. They learn how to schedule in a logical way thanks to the framework Yamdu provides."
CJ Welsh Production Coordinator at the University of Melbourne
Communication
Yamdu eliminates communication silos; teachers can communicate directly with students collectively and privately in-app in a secure interface.
What our educators have to say
"The announcement tool is also very useful because I can remind or update students quickly and also see who has seen the information."
Nina Robnik Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film, and Television at the University of Ljubljana
Templates
Build reusable project templates for your classes to structure projects for students. Complete with preset tasks with deadlines, links to relevant material and scaled features.
What our educators have to say
"We got started within days. Of course, the Yamdu team took us by the hand at the beginning [...] and organized two one-hour online courses: one for the students and one for the teachers."
Jürgen Schopper Head, Faculty of Design at the Nuremberg Institute of Technology
Asset-Rich Databases
All project information added by teachers and students feeds into searchable crew, cast, location, costume and prop databases that the teachers and students can reuse on future projects.
Competent, confident and empowered students. At-ease educators with oversight and control. Yamdu provides a practical and focused pedagogical framework.

Learning While Producing
