Description

I think it would be great if not only task specific actions would be emitted, but also cursor (clicking and moving) and scrolling ones. This could give even more insights how a task is received and how it could be improved. Of course, it is no eye-tracking, but this kind of analytics is used in enterprise applications like hotjar. In particular, a heat-map feature could be a great opportunity for educators and researchers to find problems about their task.

So I think for this issue to resolve, there needs to be two things done:

  • add generic cursor and scroll tracking (maybe also window resizing)
  • add a heatmap which displays the tracked cursor actions as an overlay above a task

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing where task-specific actions are emitted and where a task is rendered, then determine how cursor and scroll data and a heat-map overlay fit those paths. Done means both checklist items are implemented and the overlay presents tracked cursor actions.
