Interaction Logging
Also known as: Event Logging, User Interaction Logging, UI Event Logging
The automated capture and recording of user interface events — such as clicks, keystrokes, focus changes, touch gestures, and scrolling — during a person's interaction with a digital system. In accessibility research and evaluation, interaction logging is valuable for understanding how people with disabilities navigate websites and applications, revealing patterns such as repeated actions, navigation loops, or barriers that cause users to abandon tasks. Inclusive interaction logging captures events beyond mouse clicks, including keyboard, touch, and assistive technology interactions, to represent the full diversity of how users interact with the web.
