The data collected via the onboarding survey users complete when registering on this site helps us learn more about the educators and professionals who use this platform.  We use the information you provide along with data about how you engage with courses and resources on the platform, to improve your experience and make the Hub more useful and relevant. We also use this data to better understand how educators and professionals engage with learning content—and how that learning may support improved outcomes for children and youth.

Deidentified data may be shared with trusted partners to support ongoing efforts to strengthen the platform and deepen our understanding of how it is used.
