The invention consists of a computer program useful for training people over the internet, or other computer networks. This program resides on a server computer and upon the selection of a link to the file which contains it, will download to the client computer. This program will create a text document which will record the travel of the mouse cursor over the face of the document in a way which mimics the reading of a printed page by pointing one's finger at the words being read. The program will record the percentage of the page covered by the mouse cursor, and therefore closely focused upon by the trainee. It will send that data back to the web server for posting to a database under the log-in identifier of the trainee. The program contains algorithms which prevent the recording of the mouse cursor movement if the movements are random motions, right to left, too fast, or otherwise in a pattern indicating the material is not being read. The invention can also be used to record the thorough review of material contained in an image, such as a graph or illustration.
