Online schooling has become more and more popular during recent years due to COVID-19 [1][15]. It allows teaching to continue without in-person contacts. A prominent issue with online schooling is teachers are unable to oversee students’ behavior during class as they would in-person. It has been known that many students tend to lose attention. This can make online schooling less effective, causing it to yield worse results than in-person schooling [2]. In order to tackle this issue,this paper outlines a tool that has been developed to monitor children’s mouse and keyboard movements during online classes and analyze the data with artificial intelligence to ensure students are focused in class [3]. For example, if the students are typing and clicking their mouse frequently, then there is a higher possibility the student is not focused because frequent keyboard and mouse movements might indicate they are chatting with friends or playing games; on the other hand, if they are attentive in class, there would be less keyboard and mouse movements, as they should be taking notes.
