Notes on style

  • Online lectures and presentations are considered recoverable if recorded or are available for download as a pdf, etc. They can be included in the reference list if permitted by your teacher or lecturer. Treat according to publication type (e.g., video post, podcast, stand-alone document, etc.).
  • If the material you are citing is from an online class room, learning management system (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard), or intranet and you are writing for an audience with access to that resource, provide the name of the site and its URL (do not link to a specific Moodle shell or page).
  • If the material is not accessible to your intended audience (e.g. requires an institutional login) cite as Personal communication.
