We are launching some research projects to look at K-12 students' uses of laptops. One of the elements we'll want to learn about is how often/long the students access the laptops for what software and uses, etc. I am completely ignorant about what types of computer software are available to track users' computer use. I imagine their are a range of products that do everything from just tell you how many hours the computer has been turned on to products that record every key stroke (I would imagine that we need something between these two extremes). Can anybody enlighten me to any specific types/brands of user/usage tracking software that I might want to look into? I'm not sure where to start looking.
