Chicago Manual of Style

Moodle Content

If you want to cite an article, book chapter, website, or video that your professor provides links to in your Moodle course, just use the usual format on how to cite that type of resource using the source’s original publication information. 
 
However, if you want to cite your professor's PowerPoint or video lecture that they uploaded, or something that someone from your study group posted, you'll need to cite these items a little bit differently. The Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition) does not provide explicit instructions on how to cite resources on a course site such as Moodle. If you are citing your professor's uploaded video lecture or lecture slides/notes, use this format as a guide.
 
Note: Use the posted date if possible. If that is not available, use the date you accessed it.
