>> I think things you would want to capture are:
>> - sessions a student has done
>> - errors in these sessions, number of words, letters, sentences
>> - indicators: number of words per minute, errors per minute or errors
>> per number of words. errors per letter (weakness on certain fingers)
>> - results relatively to other students of same class or age
>> - trend of a student over time.
>> - ready for "final exam" evaluation
>> - last exercise done, number of exercise over time
>>

I think what would also help out would be time spent logged in, but  
also time spent actively doing stuff (like typing games/practice/ 
etc).   This would be useful for teachers who tell their students  
"please work on this for x minutes" to just have the kid goof off with  
the window open.

It should be easy to create a tracker for most of these things, I  
started looking at it over the summer, but didn't have time to finish  
it.  Part of the issue is the two games, while essentially look/feel  
the same, both handle events/etc differently.  But other than that it  
shouldn't be too hard.
