How do I cite a slide presentation uploaded by an instructor to a learning management system?

Cite a slide presentation uploaded by an instructor to a learning management system the same way you would cite any material posted to a website. Follow the MLA format template.

List the author of the presentation and the presentation’s title. Then list the name of the learning management system as the container, followed by the publication details. For clarity, you may list the format as a supplemental element at the end of the entry:

Carson, Sandy. Introduction to Digital Humanities. Blackboard, uploaded by Carson, 20 Oct. 2019, blackboard.ucla.edu/. PowerPoint presentation.

In the example above, the instructor—Sandy Carson—both created the presentation and uploaded it to Blackboard. Since her full name is given in the Author element, only her last name is given in the Contributor element.
