- Welcome, Chief Ambassadors and Program Quality Directors, Thank you so much for being here today. So this is incredibly exciting: We are just months away from launching Pathways! After all the hard work and collaboration and efforts by so many---including what you have contributed to this process----we have just about arrived at the starting gate. And I hope that you feel like we do --- that we are on the cusp of a new beginning for Toastmasters. This is the first update intended to address how everyone on each district’s Pathways rollout team will work together. We are in a very good place as we get ready to launch. Throughout this process, we have received excellent feedback on the Pathways learning experience ---- from members, from staff members involved in the process, and from others. We have incorporated suggestions and made corrections. Fortunately, the corrections have been relatively few and minor in light of the bigger picture. World Headquarters employees participated in user acceptance testing. These were staff members not involved in the Pathways configuration process, because we wanted testers who had no previous connection to the project----who went into the testing “blind,” so to speak. We received very good feedback from these individuals. In addition, members who participated in the Pathways content pilot provided us with extensive positive comments about the new learning experience. Both employees and members have indicated that Pathways is intuitive, clear and user-friendly. As we get closer to the launch, we are confident that we’re on firm ground. That doesn’t mean, of course, there won’t be obstacles or things we need to change. We expect the unexpected.
- We’re going to start off with something special: giving you a sneak peek at Pathways Base Camp---the learning management system ---so you can see what it looks like and why it will be such an exciting and valuable system for members to use. Then I will update you on alpha and beta testing, and we’ll review the rollout, including information about the program pilot. Finally, we will look at the plan for training members, including details about the Pathways Guides and the rollout kit that all clubs will receive to help them prepare for Pathways. Hopefully, you will leave this webinar feeling like you understand how the rollout works and you’ll have details to share with your Ambassadors and members. We’re getting more questions about the rollout, and surely you are too. This webinar will provide you with answers.
- To get to Base Camp, you must go to the Pathways Start Page on the Toastmasters website. This is what that page looks like. We use a single sign-on system, so everyone has to log in on the Toastmasters website with their user name and password, whether you’re trying to access Leadership Central, for example, or the Pathways Start Page. Both require the same log-in credentials. It’s important for you to remind members that that if they haven’t yet logged in on the Toastmasters website, they should do so as soon as possible. One of the biggest obstacles we anticipate is that members will try to get into Base Camp and not know their log-in credentials or have trouble using them. So the sooner they try logging in, the better. There are three tiles on the Pathways Start Page: The first tile is The Navigator, a guide that is both online and in print. It explains how to work in Pathways and also explains meeting roles and club officer roles and how everything works. It also explains Pathways and how you use Base Camp as well as how you use the print version of the program. The Navigator essentially replaces the New Member Kit that we have now. The second tile is Choose your path, where you will take the Pathways assessment to determine which path is best for you. And remember, members don’t have to choose the recommended path if they don’t want to; they can change it and choose a different path. From there, you can connect to Base Camp, or you can come back to the Start Page and click on the third tile: Pathways Base Camp.
- Here’s an example of a Base Camp Profile page. Every member who chooses to work in Pathways online will have a Base Camp profile. You post your photo and share information about yourself---it could be a little bit about your background or perhaps a description of what your goals are. Below that is the “Summary” section and below that “Interests.” “Additional Information” lists how long you’ve been a member and what your education credentials are. On the right side of that section, it lists the functionary roles the member has filled. The date listed under the role will be the most recent date when the member served in that role. So there’s a lot of information you can put on this profile page, information that is going to be available for your fellow club members to see. In the “Options” section, you can indicate how much you want to share---you can make everything accessible for members to see, or only a portion of it, if that’s what you want. Let’s return to the Base Camp Home Page [NOTE: ADVANCE TO NEXT PAGE.]
- From this page, you can do many things, as you can see by the six tiles here: Explore My Profile, Work In My Projects, Complete My Assignments, give Feedback and Recognition, Complete a Level, and find out more about the Pathways Mentor Program. We’ll start with Explore My Profile. This is where you can go in and post information about yourself in addition to the date being pulled from the Toastmasters data base. When you click on this tile, you’ll see the Base Camp Profile page. [PRESENTER: CLICK TO HIGHLIGHT THE TILE, THEN CLICK AGAIN TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT PAGE.]
- So here is a sneak peek of Base Camp! This is what the home page will look like every time you go into Base Camp. There are many elements here. First and foremost, this is the look and feel for all the pages in Pathways----you see the red bars and the different types of images that show the different aspects of the Pathways experience. When we’ve talked about the configuration of our learning management system, this is what we’ve been talking about. As you can see, there are five main sections here: Navigating Base Camp, My Education Transcript, My Feedback, My Badges and Speech Evaluations. These are the areas that the Pathways team feels will be most important to members. The system truly is a gateway to an engaging, multi-layered learning experience that will enable you to develop many new skills and maximize your growth. So now let’s take a look at the first tile: Navigating Base Camp. [NOTE TO PRESENTER: Click to highlight the Navigating Base Camp tile. Then click again to advance the presentation to the next page.]
