I asked:
How do you handle citations and bibliography for PowerPoint and poster reports?
Our students learn formal MLA style for their essays in English class. But
when other teachers assign less formal research, it is still improper to
take the ideas, words, and images without crediting the source.
Do you use inline citations on the PowerPoint slides? Do you have a
bibliographic slide at the end? Or do you have students print out their
slides and add the citations manually for your eyes only?
And how do you handle poster presentations? It's so easy to print out the
images--but where to handle the credits? On the front? In the
corner? What's your advice?
I am concerned by the amount of plagiarism I see in informal reports, when
students do know how to give credit in their essays. We need to teach some
semi-formal system for oral presentations with PowerPoint or poster displays.

We use slide(s) at end of PowerPoint for citations and usually attach a
separate sheet of paper with other formats such as posters, charts,
etc.

We have made a concerted effort this year to recognize that citation is
important no matter what kind of project you are doing. Consequently,
students are citing in minute font underneath their pictures on PowerPoint,
posters and brochures. They include a Works cited slide for PowerPoint and
for posters, it is attached to the back of the poster. For a brochure it
can be included on the last page or handed in separately as long as the "in
line" citation is done.

We have the students make a separate slide (or two) for the bibliography in
a powerpoint. Not sure how correct it is....but we really want the kids to
know that all research requires credit given to sources. This way, they
see it over and over again with each PowerPoint.
I'm still battling the image citations. I'd love to hear what you get from
others. It's an issue that admittedly I've let slide.... and I shouldn't have.
Thanks,
Readingly yours,

I totally agree with you and have been wondering this myself as more and
more teachers are using powerpoint projects.
I have no clue if there is a formal way to do this. However, I would
recommend doing a slide at the end so that the viewers can see that the
material has been credited and also have the student print out that
slide for the teacher who can look at it more closely and perhaps to a
spot check.
Would you mind posting a hit based on your responses? I'll be teaching
summer school this year and I wanted the kids to do a powerpoint project
and I'd like to see what others recommend.
Thanks and good luck,

Hi!
We have the kids do a bibliographic slide at the end of their
presentations, citing picture sources and web information sources.

Our present Seniors are doing a multi-media joint project: English and
Chemistry.
They have been told to use MLA for the papers. On the PowerPoint
presentations, the last slide must be 5 questions that the rest of the
students have to answer about the presentation material, so the next to last
should be a proper bibliography of the PP. Also, students add the info to
the individual slides, just as if it was a paper, giving credit for
illustrations or ideas they have used from their research. In other words,
on slide 3 they have an illustration they have copied, they give the info as
to where it was copied from at the bottom of the slide - usually in lower
right corner and small font. Then on the next to last slide, they list the
bibliography of materials used for the whole presentation, even though this
same info is on the bibliography page of the paper. This is because the
paper is an individual work and the PP is a joint effort.
We don't have posters, but would expect them to do the same- cite it in
lower right corner in small font.
