Artifacts HotCRP Id: #12
Requested Badge: Available
Panopticon is an educational board game designed to help data science students learn how to design privacy-sensitive data practices. Inspired by Monopoly, it models a data economy where players switch between the roles of digital service users and developers. Players iteratively create, critique, and refine privacy designs, promoting peer learning and formative feedback. The artifact provides all necessary game materials, including the game board, rules, design worksheets, and task bank, enabling researchers and educators to access and use the game.
Panopticon does not pose security or privacy risks to the reviewer’s system. The artifact consists solely of printable game materials and documentation, requiring no software installation or execution. There are no ethical concerns associated with its use or evaluation.
