Features - RundownHQ: The Broadcast Project Management Solution for Schools

Complete Broadcast Production Platform

RundownHQ mirrors real newsroom workflows, giving students hands-on experience with professional broadcast tools and collaborative processes.

Broadcast Program Management

Create and manage multiple broadcast programs at once—from daily news shows to podcasts and special events. Organize by segments such as students, teachers, sports, holidays, or entertainment, and keep your productions streamlined.

Team & Assignment Workflow

Producers can build news teams and assign projects like interviews, VO/SOT packages, commercials, or sports events. Segment producers can delegate tasks to individuals or teams, while students can accept assignments or reassign to available team members—mirroring real newsroom collaboration.

Task Breakdown & Sub-tasks

Large projects can be broken into smaller subtasks, each assigned to team members with deadlines and progress tracking. From script drafts to B-roll collection, everyone knows what needs to get done.

Script Writing & Approval Workflow

Students can draft scripts directly in RundownHQ, route them for teacher or producer approval, and lock them into the rundown. Templates and easy script-code insertion ensure fast, standardized formatting.

Video Package & Voice-Over Submission

Assignments include direct video submission for review and approval. Students can upload VO packages, receive notes, and finalize them for broadcast integration.

Rundown Creator & Teleprompter

The heart of the system: a rich rundown builder that compiles approved student assignments into a seamless broadcast lineup. Rundowns can be printed for crew distribution or run live using the built-in teleprompter.

User Dashboard

Each student and producer has a personalized dashboard showing upcoming tasks, assignment updates, deadlines, and approvals—helping them manage the entire broadcast workflow at a glance.

Administrator Control

Admins can manage users, roles, and privileges, ensuring the right people have the right access. Create script templates, manage crew lists, and maintain order across multiple programs.

Resource Library

Built-in checklists, tutorials, and video guides provide ongoing support and training, helping students and teachers sharpen their broadcast skills.
