Abstract
RadioInteractive will weave together 5 key elements during the week of PCF7, all tied to radio and interactivity, communication and participation, specifically their role in learning for development (COL's mission) with a view to empowerment and transformation (PCF7 theme). //
The five elements are
-
Pre-conference workshop (1/2 day)
-
10-minute interaction with delegates during the opening plenary
-
10-minute daily broadcast on a local radio featuring interaction with Abuja listeners
-
Updates (results of polls, etc.) available online and via mobile
-
Poster on interactive radio tools and experiences to be on display the whole week // Tools to choose from and feature in the poster:
-
Beep-to-vote: affordable, easily accessible to anyone with a mobile (no need to use sms)
-
Multiple choice surveys via SMS - can conduct surveys with listening groups/learning groups, move the responses to something like google docs spreadsheet which can then be shared with many others
-
Post SMS to twitter and facebook pages: Using a radio station as the gateway to allow listeners to send in comments/suggestions via SMS which then get posted into facebook or onto a twitter account/hashtag
-
Callback IVR: By “beeping” a number, a listener can be called back and given the opportunity to Leave-a-message (like voicemail). That message is then pushed around online wherever needed (sits in a dropbox folder and can be listened to, deleted, forwarded etc). But this is a bit like the VOICES project. The above technology can also allow the playback of a single piece of audio content instead of recording a message.
-
Barza - demonstrate how Farm Radio is using online space to host communities of practice for learning, discussions as well as working groups (broadcasters working on a campaign).
-
TracFM - the way you can use their platform to geotrack the responses of SMS polls (we are currently doing this in Uganda but it is not available elsewhere yet) // Paper ID: 491
