Welcome to Open Game Data office hours! In this session, recorded on 9 May 2025, David Gagnon of Field Day Lab and Kevin Ponto, Associate Professor in the Design Studies Department in the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin, workshop the concept of replay analysis to improve game design using simulated data from educational games. The Open Game Data Community is an NSF-funded research incubator focused on advancing the use of game-generated data to better understand learning, thinking, engagement, and decision-making. Open Office Hours sessions provide a public space where researchers, developers, and educators share works in progress, discuss emerging ideas, and receive feedback from the community. These sessions are designed to showcase research and make expert reasoning and inquiry visible to others in the field. Open Game Day Open Office Hours are hosted by Erik Harpstead of Carnegie Mellon University, Magy Seif El-Nasr of UC Santa Cruz, and Dave Gagnon of University of Wisconsin.
