Literature Review

I spent the last days setting up my literature review. Now that that's been done, it's time to get to the meat of the review. After the first impressions by doing some searches on Google Scholar, I'm confident enough all the data I need will be found on the Internet.

I'm will now start to systematically work through the results, looking which papers cite which (one of the very handy features of Scholar), and so will work my way to the most recent online accessibility papers.

The literature review consists of two main parts:
- First I need to explain some facts about blind and visually impaired people and the issues they face with online accessibility.
- Secondly, I'm going to create an overview of studies, solutions and initiatives that have been created to improve accessibility of Flash.

Looks easy enough, but it will take enough time to keep me occupied for at least two weeks. Interesting papers and findings will be shared on this blog.

Oh, and I have to correct some mis-information in my last post: the overview of programs I talked about (programs and tools that have been created to improve accessibility in Flash (music players), like speaking browsers, screenreaders, etc.), is part of the preparation for the quantitative research, and not the literature review. My bad!
