2 Demographics
The demographic survey is made available to learners as a part of their sign-up process on Kinetic. We preface the demographic survey with reference to our intention of using the information to address issues of inequities in educational opportunities and outcomes.
All questions have an opt-out option to give learners agency to whatever information they would like to voluntarily share with us.
