Abstract
Methods of gathering user input data for investigations into human-com puter interaction are considered. These include the use of human monit ors, ''instrumentation'' of computer programs, and the use of ''backgr ound'' keylogging software. The Datalogger is presented as an example of the latter method, which provides a time-stamped record of keypress es and mouse movement and allows the outcomes of user actions to be re played.
