Saving Your History |
|
|
|
|
As you may have already heard, an improved version of Base Camp
is launching early next year. This platform upgrade will bring
changes to the Pathways learning experience that members have
requested for some time, and we’re excited for future
improvements this transition will also be able to support!
Ahead of the launch, there will be a period of time when Base
Camp is unavailable while we transition your path progress to
the new system. A few items
stored on Base Camp won't transfer from the current version to
the new version. You might want to take
action now to save them for later access. These items are
detailed in a letter dated December 11, 2023 and is linked
HERE, and is
copied below. |
|
Toastmasters is asking you to review and potentially save all
the data in the following areas:
-
Feedback sent on Base Camp
-
Documents uploaded to My Documents
-
Assess Your Skills
-
Understanding Your Leadership Style or Understanding Your
Communication Style projects
-
Story Collection Tool in the Engaging Humor path
-
Meeting Roles
|
|
Here's one potential way to do this. |
|
-
Feedback sent on Base Camp
-
If you have comments, constructive feedback, or
encouragement you would like to reference later, take a
screenshot or copy and paste the text of the feedback
elsewhere.
|
How to do this.
|
~ Log into
toastmasters.org
~ Log into Base Camp
~ On Base Camp, open the club title to
access the data you wish to save.
~ Open the My Feedback tab,
and save the data inside.
|
An easy way to do this is to take a
Screenshot and save it to a file on your desktop. With Windows
press "prt sc" on the top row on most keyboards. With an Apple
computer, "press and hold these three keys together [Shift,
Command, and 3]. If you see a thumbnail in the corner of your
screen, click it to edit the screenshot. Or wait for the
screenshot to save to your desktop.
|
|
- Documents uploaded to My
Documents - If you have
previously uploaded files you would like to reference later
or save in the new version of Base Camp, download them from
your My Documents folder and save them to your device. When
the new Base Camp is available, you'll be able to upload
your files there.
|
How to do this.
|
~ Log into
toastmasters.org
~ Log into Base Camp
~ On Base Camp, open the
club title to access the data you wish to save.
|
|
~ Open the My Documents
tab, and save the data inside.
|
|
|
-
Assess Your Skills
-
In the new version of Base Camp, projects will be
redesigned, and the Assess Your Skills activity included in
your projects will be replaced with a new type of before and
after reflection. If you would like to reference any of your
Assess Your Skills answers after the transition, be sure to
record them now, either by taking a screenshot or recording
them in another manner.
|
How to do this.
|
~ Log into
toastmasters.org
~ Log into Base Camp
~ On Base Camp, open the
club title to access the data you wish to save.
|
~ On the Paths and Learning
tab.
|
|
~ Once the Pathways and Learning
transcript is open, select EACH path, one at a time, and save
the BEFORE and AFTER assessments.
|
|
~ To do this, OPEN each path
for which you have completed a BEFORE and AFTER
assessment, Open and save each page of the BEFORE
assessment (typically 5 pages) and each page of the
AFTER assessment (typically 5 pages).
|
|
|
|
|
~ REPEAT this process for
EVERY path and for every BEFORE and AFTER
assessments you want to save.
|
|
-
Understanding Your Leadership Style or Understanding Your
Communication Style projects
-
The answers to the questionnaires in these projects will not
transfer to the new system. If you would like to reference
them later, go into the project, take a screenshot of your
results, or record them in another manner.
|
How to do this.
|
~ Log into
toastmasters.org
~ Log into Base Camp
~ On Base Camp, open the
club title to access the data you wish to save.
|
~ On the Paths and Learning
tab.
|
|
~ Once the Pathways and Learning
transcript is open, click on Open Curriculum of the path where
the Understanding Your Communication Style or Understanding Your
Leadership Style is found (Level 2). Scroll to the Discover Your
Communication Style assessment. Respond to the 12 requests.
|
|
|
|
~ To access and save your responses to Understanding Your
Leadership Style, follow the same steps as listed above and
complete all responses (50+) for the Disxover Your Leadership
Style assessment. |
|
|
|
-
Story Collection Tool in the
Engaging Humor path
- The information you recorded here will not be available in
the new Base Camp. Please copy, paste, and store it
elsewhere if you would like to access it later.
|
|
-
Meeting Roles
-
If you would like a record of meeting roles you’ve logged on
Base Camp, please save your record elsewhere.
|
This item is of minimum concern. First, only
the LAST meeting role that you documented will be saved. This
area does NOT provide a running historical record of meeting
roles completed. If you do want to save the last roles that you
entered, do the following.
|
~ Log into
toastmasters.org
~ Log into Base Camp
~ On Base Camp, open the
club title to access the data you wish to save.
|
~ On the Paths and Learning
tab.
|
|
~ On the Paths and Learning
tab.
|
On this page, look in the upper right-hand corner and Click on
the small gear. Then Click on My Account.
|
|
~ On the Preferences page
you should see Meeting Roles and dates that you performed them
last. The ONLY three that really matter and are REQUIRED to be
filled in are: Toastmaster, Topicmaster and Evaluator. If these
three roles show NO dates, then you will not be able to complete
Level 3 of ANY path. See details
here.
