A summary of Michael's valuable lit review tips

Following Michael's generous e-mail, I've summarised the key bits of advice he recommends with regard to my lit review:
  1. Consider defining multimodality
  2. Avoid conflating multimodality and transliteracy (or multimedia)
  3. Find an article that nails it for my research, and work backward and forward from there. The McKenna chapter for instance might be perfect.
  4. With the foundation article selected, visit Google Scholar and do the citation search for that article. It will take me to people who have cited that article and I can look for similar, relevant work.
  5. Look through the reference list on the foundation article and follow those up. 
  6. Do some straight up searching, although this might have mixed success depending on the search term I use. This might require a whole slew of searches. Multimedia and assessment might be the best search terms.
  7. Set up Google scholar alerts so that when new relevant material is published, I will hear about it.
  8. Be surgeon like in considering articles for inclusion. Unless it is directly relevant, ditch it. Don’t venture of task for a moment. It will waste the word count if nothing else.
