Use the proper APA citation for any materials that are posted to Canvas by your instructor.

For example, if your instructor posts a peer-reviewed article to Canvas, then use the format for citing a journal article.

If you need help creating the proper APA for Canvas materials, please contact a Lynn Librarian. 

Author(s). (Year). Name of slide deck in italics [PowerPoint slides]. Canvas. https://lynn.instructure.com/ 

Example:

Farazmand, F. (2020). Public sector [PowerPoint slides]. Canvas. https://lynn.instructure.com/ 

In-text citation: (Farazmand, 2020)

• If the slides come from a classroom website, learning management system (e.g., Canvas), or company intranet and you are writing for an audience with access to that resource, provide the name of the site and its URL (use the login page URL for sites requiring login).

• If the audience for which are you writing does not have access to the slides, cite them as a personal communication.
