4. How to cite PowerPoint Classroom Slides:
Two options: (both will be marked as correct in this course)
Option 1: If the PowerPoint is available online to your intended audience, use the following
formatting:
Schenk, A. (2021). Name of module/Title of Presentation [PowerPoint slides]. cuLearn@CU.
https://culearn.carleton.ca
In-text citation: (Schenk, 2021, slide 4) OR Schenk (2021, slide 4)
• If the slides come from a classroom website, learning management system [e.g., Moodle or
cuLearn], or company intranet and you are writing for an audience with access to that resource,
provide the name of the site and its URL (use the login page URL for sites requiring login)
Option 2: If the PowerPoint is only available to people who attended the presentation or via
password-protected access that your audience doesn’t have, treat the PowerPoint slides as
a personal communication and cite it using the name of the person or organization who provided
the PowerPoint.
(A. Lastname, personal communication, Month day, year)
(Organizational name, personal communication, Month day, year)
e.g.: (A. Schenk, personal communication, January 1, 2021)
or (Carleton University, personal communication, January 1, 2021)
Personal communication is only cited in-text and isn’t included in the references because the
material isn’t recoverable.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING INFORMATION FROM POWERPOINT SLIDES
THAT IS ORIGINALLY FROM THE COURSE TEXT OR READING, YOU ARE
EXPECTED TO REFERENCE/CITE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE.

Sample Solution
ntent, but comprehensive guidance on teaching the content – so that each learning resource comes with instructions and examples of ‘how to teach’. This is especially important in developing countries where the teachers’ knowledge and skills are low. Online teacher communities will continue to become more and more important as centres for the sharing of resources, practice and mutual support.
Subject-wise, although traditional emphasis has always been on STEM subjects, the overriding priority for education systems is, and will continue to be, literacy.
In most countries Technical and Vocational Education will become increasingly important, especially as economies move from the production of simple commodities (agriculture, raw materials) to complex (manufactured goods, technology and services). The biggest challenge for TVE from a teaching and learning perspective is assessment – how do we define competencies and skills in this sector, and how do we assess and certify them to international standards? Technology that allows for the assessment of complex skills both in the classroom and onsite (through mobile devices) would be extremely valuable. There is also an opportunity to use A.I. for this, as it will allow for the assessment of intricate tasks and projects beyond simple testing.
We are seeing a move away from high stakes international testing (such as PISA, TIMS etc.) and the use of statistics and Big Data in education. There has been little evidence to date that these systems are useful to course correct or inform policy and practice. Despite the efforts of bodies like the OECD these tests struggle to assess the complex competencies and skills that will increasingly be needed over the next few years. While they have certain political currency, the impact on classroom practice appears to be largely negative as teachers are under increasing pressure to compile data, which detracts from teaching itself, and teach to the test. National boards, like OFSTED in the UK, are now moving away from the statistical ‘evidence of progress’ towards inspections focussed on the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom and we are seeing similar trends worldwide.
In summary – for centralised and developing education systems the next three to five years will see:
1. The need for standardised and central administrative control over resources, content and the implementation of technology in the classroom.
2. An increasing focus on Technical and Vocational Education and a growing demand for ef
