To cite a PowerPoint presentation in APA style, follow this general format for the reference list: Format: Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day). Title of presentation [PowerPoint slides]. Name of Website, Department, or Institution. URL Example: Smith, J. A. (2023, March 15). Effective communication strategies [PowerPoint slides]. Department of Communication, University of Example. https://universityexample.edu/presentations/communication2023 For PowerPoints accessed on a classroom website or learning management system (e.g., Blackboard), include the name of the platform and its URL, especially if your audience has access to it. In-text citation:
- Parenthetical: (Smith, 2023, slide 4)
- Narrative: Smith (2023) discusses effective communication strategies (slide 4).
If the PowerPoint is not publicly accessible (e.g., from a password-protected site), use the login page URL or note "Available upon request" instead of a direct URL. This method ensures clarity and allows readers to locate the source if possible
