Open Game Data is a platform to accelerate research of educational games for learning and assessment. Developed by a growing community of studios, researchers and designers, the tool will reduce a significant barrier for learning science researcher participation with learning games by eliminating the cost associated with common tasks required for data collection while freeing users to concentrate on innovation and discovery. As a result, it will broaden participation in educational data science by making datasets and analysis code openly available.
