We are very excited about the response received so far about the Radian6 Higher Ed Trial Program for the Spring 2010 semester! Though Session 1 candidates have already been selected and are in the middle of their trial program access now, faculty members (on behalf of their undergraduate classes) and graduate students can still apply to use the Radian6 platform for four weeks at no cost for the next three available sessions.

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 2 is 22 January. Candidates will be notified of selection 24 January. If you are not immediately selected, we will keep your information handy for the next month’s selection.
