Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for generating a contextual timeline of an online interaction such as a web conference acquires context, from the perspective of participants in the online interaction, along a timeline. Provided for display to a user is a graphical representation of variations, over at least a portion of the timeline, in participant engagement, attentiveness, attendance and/or some other measure of participant interactivity. Also provided for display to the user are one or more images aligned with one or more corresponding points in time along the timeline. The images provided for display in alignment with the timeline are representative of content presented to the at least one participant at one or more points in time. According to some embodiments, the points in time are user selectable, and the one or more images are provided for display in alignment with the timeline in response to user selections.
