Online Style

The Columbia Guide to Online Style is a great resource for academic referencing of on-line resources

In my writing I am increasingly finding myself referring to on-line sources - and more lately to multimedia sources. This afternoon I had an email form a colleague who is laboriously sub-edicting a book on e-Portfolios. "Hey Graham", Martin asks, "again I need a reference. You wrote in the docs.google document, about Jenny Hughes and Graham Attwell (2006) but it isnt listed in the references. Now I found the copied text in a study I have to have look through until today evening.

So can you send me the complete reference, please. Or is the text "Pedagogical Process" alredy published? If yes, where? Hope for your help."

Hm, I thought, and had to search in the draft for the reference. There it was - it was a video on Teacher Styles.

But then the problem - how to reference videos. I did a quick Google search and came up with the excellent Columbia Guide to Online Style.

The guide provides a comprehensive list of different on-line sources and the way to reference them. Well worth a look.
