 Notes:

When PowerPoint slides/lecture notes are available only from the teacher, via course management software (such as Moodle, Blackboard), or from someone who took notes during a lecture, cite this as a personal communication.

The same approach would apply to notes taken during a lecture or material that was handed out in class but is not posted elsewhere (e.g., on the instructor’s public website).

Example:

According to Kunka (2018:slide 5) …

 

Notes:

Give the slide number in place of page number.
