Keywords needed to help with music domain searches

To the RQTF

I've spent the past week having a  look for domain-specific literature in music and following up on some references I came across in my STEM searches. Unfortunately, the references I found led to discussion more on the benefit of digital music and the benefits of ID tags over music recorded on a physical medium such as a record which would seem to be out of scope of what I understand we're seeking.

As such, I'll need some help in putting together the relevant keywords to narrow down the focus for the accessible music domain. If I could get some help with this it'd be great, then I'll return to my hunt for literature.

In the meantime, I've found two more references relating to STEM which I think look really interesting.

Dave: could you please add the two below to the wiki you created for the STEM literature?

Thanks everyone,

Scott.

Title: Multimedia platform for mathematics' interactive learning accessible to blind people
Journal: An International Journal
Volume: 77
Issue: 5
Pages: 6191-6208
Alternative math presentation
Math tutoring platform
Distance learning
Abstract: Nowadays, the math learning is an important step in developing professional carriers in technical and economic sciences. Increasing the number of e-learning tools used in universities courses can reduce the potential barrier of access to mathematical knowledge, but most of them are not accessible for impaired students. Moreover, classical printed math books include little explicit instructional information about structural information interpretations. Taking into account these barriers the article presents the developed method used for creating interactive steps of decomposed math's exercise solution and alternative description of math formulas accessible for the blind. The elements of proposed methodology: generation of state machine, design and presentation of transition conditions, generating the presentation layer and a typical usage by a blind user are presented. A set of rules for describing mathematical formulas were proposed after consultation with mathematicians and teachers of blind people. The application was developed as web application. The graphical interface of presented application was designed using PHP and JavaScript technologies. The collection of prepared exercises include about 240 prepared exercises from different areas of mathematics and 60 selected exercises including alternative description layer. About 1000 students and about 40 impaired students, from 6 faculties of the university use this platform during math courses for both self and class learning. The defined rules were used to read aloud mathematical formulas to the visually impaired people with a different level of mathematical knowledge. The results confirmed good understanding of mathematical formulas by using prepared alternative description.

Title: Visions and Realizations of a Computational eTextbook
Journal: Computing in Science & Engineering
Volume: 17
Issue: 5
Pages: 72-79
Abstract: The authors describe a series of implementations of a multisensory, interactive eTextbook in computational physics with multiple executable elements and various ways to include text, computational laboratories, demonstrations, and video-based lecture modules. The authors also discuss advances and setbacks in the realizations of their original vision, as well as modifications instigated by changing Web technologies and mobile devices.
