If you plan to use another’s work in any form of multimedia, proper citation and attribution are required (Deubel, 2005). If video is the delivery format, you can provide on screen text to provide the proper citation of the source. When dealing with footage of the author, such as with an interview, you should provide their name, title, and organizational association on screen (Laureate Education, 2010). If you have a still image or graphic, you can provide a full citation as a footer at the bottom of the screen, or a brief citation in the lower right hand corner of the screen (Laureate Education, 2010). In either case a full bibliography or reference page should be included at the end of the video (Laureate Education, 2010).
When the delivery mechanism is an interactive game or animation, the bibliography or reference should be included at the end, similar to credits at the end of a motion picture (Laureate Education, 2010). If a slide presentation is being used, include the citation in the notes section of the slide in addition to notating any images, charts, or graphics contained on the slide itself. (Laureate Education, 2010) The on screen images should offer credit as well as the notes section, as some may never see the notes. When providing handouts of the slides, for distribution of the material, in addition to a presentation the notes section becomes an additional reference point. In either case, it is good practice to always include a reference list at the end of the slide presentation.
