Media-Rich Platform
Most online learning platforms treat video courses as the only vehicle for learning. Unicorn believes instructors should tailor the learning process to each student’s goals. Radium delivers on that: video courses, evergreen content that admins organize into routines, and online coaching sessions — everything an instructor needs to build a personalized learning regimen.
Personalized Content
Radium is the next evolution in content management. After surveying the market, we found that both online learning and media platforms fall short of real business needs. So Unicorn built Radium to empower organizations to bring rich media online in meaningful, impactful ways:
- Organize content into video libraries and routines
- Create routines and customize them for students based on goals
- Assign routines on a schedule and track student progress
- Create surveys to assess student goals, skills, styles, and comprehension
- Publish insights, video blogs, and motivational content in a feed
- Reach students directly with one-on-one video instruction
- Extend functionality with plug-ins and third-party integrations
Native Messaging
Students join online learning platforms to engage with a specific instructor — and too often get video content recorded years earlier, with no interaction beyond other students. Radium flips that. Instructors connect one-on-one through video messaging and live coaching, with tools that make their time go further:
- Messaging via text or video
- Students can post questions and comments
- Messages scoped publicly or taken to a private conversation
- Responses can be published into collections or FAQs
- Students can schedule live one-on-one video coaching sessions
- Coaches can be assigned to students for personalized support
Best Practices
Many instructors want an online component to their teaching but feel overwhelmed by the work of organizing their content into an offering. Plenty of platforms make course creation easy — the hard part is getting started. Radium bakes in our years of online-learning experience to give instructors a head start on building a program that lasts:
- Advanced data modeling
- Clearly defined paths
- Limiting and personalizing content
- Steady content release streams
- Focusing on retention
- Live streaming and integrations
Unicorn also works directly with partners to integrate proprietary e-learning technologies and customize the experience for their audience’s specific needs.
Multiple Integrations
Too many education platforms push one-off courses that instructors sell to leverage their time — a model that rewards up-front production and marketing while ignoring completion rates and engagement.
Radium keeps one-time payments but promotes multi-tiered memberships, shifting the success metric from sales to retention. With tools to create instructional content in many formats, backed by deep usage and engagement metrics, instructors can focus on student success instead of chasing new sales every month:
- Multi-tiered subscription models
- Membership levels and role-based management
- Payment and subscription gating
- Multiple payment systems and integrations
- Deep analytics including behavior and interaction metrics
- Built-in intelligence for re-engagement
