Announcing the Radian6 Higher Education Trial Program
By: Lauren Vargas
On this blog and across various other channels on the social web, we like to talk with you about the general principles and best practices of social media engagement and how you can encourage your organizations to monitor, listen and engage online. Several people on our team have been asked to speak about these topics to our budding generations of communicators and marketing professionals. Often, it was lamented that we did not have a program in place for students to use the Radian6 platform in a public relations campaigns or research course and get a hands-on social media monitoring experience before entering the real world.
Lament no further…Many of you asked for it and now we have it! We are pleased to announce the Radian6 Higher Education Trial Program. Faculty members (on behalf of their undergraduate classes) and graduate students can now apply to use the Radian6 platform for four weeks at no cost.
Each Radian6 Higher Education Trial Program session is for a period of thirty days only. To be considered as a candidate for this trial program, you must be a faculty member representing one undergraduate class or a graduate student currently enrolled in an accredited college/university. Each candidate will receive a training webinar. A webinar is mandatory before having access to the platform. We host them live via web conference, and they’re super easy. They take about 30 minutes, and are designed to help answer your questions and give you a solid walk-through of our platform. Up to two additional hours of training will be be given to each candidate throughout the trial session to assist with their area of research.
Currently, we are only accepting three candidates (two undergraduate classes and one graduate student) per session throughout the Spring 2010 semester. The submission deadline for Session 1 is 28 December. Candidates will be notified of selection 30 December. If you are not immediately selected, we will keep your information handy for the next month’s selection.

So, apply today to become a part of the trial program or please pass along to educators and other relevant college/university programs.

The class that I am teaching is a graduate class in Interactive Marketing Class as part of the UST MBA program. Craig Pladson Colle+McVoy is enrolled in the class and told me about Radian6.
This is the first time that I have taught this class and I am currently not conducting research in this area. Following the class I expect that I will be looking at various applications and research possibilities directed towards the food, retail and distribution industries where I have worked for many years.
I would be interested in using this class in January. The class meets from Saturday January 2, 2010 until January 30.
Hopefully we can talk on the phone in the next two days — 952 926 4602 — it might make sense to develop an assignment around Radian6.
I will copy Craig on this.
Thanks

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I would just like to know if Radian6 for higher education is only intended for teacher or education-related professionals? And how much would be the fee if a am not an educator?
