Every action a user can take on GitHub has an associated event delivered to Learning Lab through webhooks. GitHub Learning Lab listens for events and uses them as triggers to execute steps.
The documentation on Event Types & Payloads covers the full scope of actions a user can take to interact with a course.
Almost every action a user can take on GitHub generates an "event".
