A literature review includes relevant research and policy informing a thesis statement or research question. In our case, it is peer reviewed literature and policy that supports your call to action. You are writing a persuasive paper, but you will need evidence to support your position. Research studies and education policy are your best allies to create a strong foundation for the action you wish to take to address a digital inequity in your community.
As you construct your literature review section of the Call to Action consider the following questions:
What is the dividing factor you will focus on? What research has been conducted to describe the nature of this divide and address this inequity?
What are the possible consequences for the community if this inequity is not addressed?
What approaches have others taken to mitigate this inequity? What policy guidance or evidence-based practices have been offered to address the digital inequity?
A well defined outline of your literature review is appropriate for the discussion board post and assignment this week. It is in your best interest to develop your literature review narrative as much as possible.
