Survey: Identity-Inclusive Computing Tenets Incorporation in K-16 Computing

Survey open until November 1

https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cw0PsOuAMp1OOhw

Researchers at Duke University are conducting a study titled “Identity-Inclusive Computing Tenets Incorporation in K-16 Computing,” which explores how the Identity-Inclusive Computing (IIC) tenets created by the Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education (AiiCE) are incorporated into K-16 computing education policies and practices. Please note, we’ve updated our IIC Tenets this year.

We ask that you please complete a brief survey by November 1, which can be completed online in approximately 5-7 minutes. At the end of the survey, you will have the opportunity to be entered into a raffle for a $25 Visa gift card. You do not have to opt into this raffle. Please also feel free to share in your departments, organizations, and communities. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the email below.
