APA Citation Tip: How to Cite Moodle Materials

When citing sources from your Moodle course site, you need to ask:

• Was the material created by someone else, and your instructor is only posting it or linking to it?
• Was the material created by your instructor?

If the material was created by someone else and is simply reposted, you would:

• Cite it like you normally would, for example if it’s an article from a journal, do a normal journal article citation.

If the material was created by your instructor, use the following template to cite it:

Author, A. (year). Title of work [And description of form, if needed] OR [Description of work in brackets if no title is available]. Moodle. URL for                 sign-in page (or a full URL if your instructor wants you to use this)

            Example:

      Adler, N. (2025). Indigenous short stories from Turtle Island [PowerPoint slides]. Moodle. https://courses.moodle.kpu.ca/login/index.php
