How the University of Melbourne creates assessment briefing videos for international students
This case follows a representative learning design manager from the University of Melbourne to show how Leadde could turn rubrics, assignment guides, and academic writing notes into reusable assessment videos.
| 46% international students reported | 80% projected production time savings | 20-35 videos possible per programme | 200-350 videos possible across 10 programmes |
International students often understand course content but still need help interpreting local assessment expectations, rubrics, academic writing norms, and group-work requirements.

Industry Context
Assessment briefing videos can reduce confusion before students submit work. They are especially helpful when students come from different education systems and need concrete explanations of what rubrics mean in practice.
The Challenge
- Students need clear examples of what assessment criteria mean.
- Academic writing expectations vary across education systems.
- Learning support teams answer similar assessment questions every term.
- Rubrics, due dates, and assignment instructions change by course and semester.
The Solution
Leadde helps learning design teams turn rubrics, assignment guides, course notes, and writing support scripts into assessment briefing videos. PDF to Video converts assignment PDFs into explainers, while AI Lecture Video Maker supports academic skills videos from scripts.
The Projected Results
- A 10-minute assessment briefing could move from 1-3 days of production to under 1 hour for a first draft.
- One programme could generate 20-35 reusable videos, including rubric explainers, assignment briefings, and writing guidance.
- Across 10 programmes, teams could build 200-350 assessment videos.
- Rubric or deadline updates could be reflected quickly without refilming.
