Citing PowerPoints in APA (6th Edition) | Format & Examples

The APA reference for PowerPoint-slides and handouts depends on the accessibility. Are the slides accessible for the reader?

Slides are only available via: Blackboard, [email protected], Moodle, Magister etc.

When the slides are part of a digital study database, you can just add a footnote in which you make clear that the source is only accessible via the digital study database.
