We'd like you to help us introduce Ada™ to the world with videos showing your experience of learning with her. For each video we choose to use on social media, we pay $30.
It’s simple!
1. If you haven’t already, add your Keywords (at least 5) to your NEI profile
2. send email to AdaVideos@NE.Institute with
SUBJECT LINE: I want to create Ada videos!
3. tell us your proposed SCENARIO
We will convert you to a free Ada™ Video Creator account.
We want videos that show you talking to Ada™ while doing other things.
SCENARIO CHOICES
--On the bus or train
--At a cafe or bistro
--In a sports setting (tennis court, lacing up your running shoes, cycling, etc)
--At the gym
--Getting a pedicure
--Walking the dog
--At the playground while your kid plays
--Relaxing on the deck/balcony/hammock with a drink (outdoors!)
--Any other creative ideas!
(We are not purchasing any more videos of people sitting at a desk.)
Your video should include both an "Action" and an "Ada Micro-Topic" segment.
ACTION:
Shows you at SCENARIO, speaking to Ada™ on a mobile phone with hands-free selected as the Ada Setting while you do your other activity. Shoot with phone VERTICAL! Use a mounted camera that's appropriately framed, or have someone film you.
ADA Micro-Topic:
Shows the screen with Ada™ clearly visible. Choose a Micro-Topic and
After you click FINISH CONVERATION, go to Conversation History, select Details, and review what you learned in the Summary.
For the Micro-Topic segment of your video, please record your conversation in a Google Meet or Zoom room. (You can do this on a desktop computer if you prefer.) This will avoid mirroring or having your reflection on the screen. To get good quality Ada™ audio when you record the screen, please share the tab and be sure that SHARE AUDIO is checked.
Your video should be natural and casual. Please dress modestly -- no spaghetti straps or tank tops.
Required Elements
In addition to the conversation with Ada™ in English, we want to hear you express in your own language (not English)
--why you want to improve at English
--how you feel about the Ada™ experience
—how you incorporate Ada™ into your personal learning approach
--how Ada™ compares to other learning tools
Video Length: 3 - 5 minutes (we edit it down)
Examples of how we will edit together the Action and Micro-Topic segments of your video: Ada™ In Action
You can send video(s) as a Google Drive link to AdaVideos@NE.Institute. So that we can view, set permissions to "Anyone with the link can access. No need to sign in." (We will not use it or share the link unless we choose to purchase your video.)
If we choose your video, we will need
1. a signed video consent form from you – or any person shown in the video. We will send you the Consent Form via DocuSign (at the email address you register for your NEI account.)
2. the text transcript of your comments in your own language (we use this for adding accurate subtitles)
We can pay you via Paypal or Wise.com. If you prefer, we can compensate you with private lessons from NEI’s professional teachers.
You can earn additional cash as an NEI Affiliate.
