Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing browser-side JavaScript and ioHub communication entry points, then clarify the message format, timestamp behavior, and transport; done would be an agreed implementation plan or documented solution.

Description

question

Thinking about how to pass events (e.g., URL change) from the assessment webpage to the ioHub. In this case we assume the subject is interacting with a browser window, in which we have a custom javascript function that gets the timing of certain events (e.g., changing from one item to the next), and we want to pass that event as a time stamped message to ioHub.

What's the best way to do this? This is not part of this deliverable but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
