Toolsuite for visualizing and exploring passages of text.

If you can build a padlet, you can build a beautiful presentation. With one click, Slideshow arranges text, selects colors, and resizes images. Create Slideshows that are 10x better in 10% of the time.

You need to build a presentation. You have all the content you need. You have the images, the links, the videos, and you have all the wonderful text.

All you need to do is put the content in a nice aesthetic package. This should be simple. You sigh in frustration. If only it were simple.

You open up Google Slides (or PowerPoint, or Keynote). You are met with blank white page. Staring back at you is an enormous title text box set to bold Arial font and an ugly little sickly grey subtitle.

This interface glowers at you. It has been designed intentionally to stifle your creativity. This interface is a time traveler from a dystopian future where color and laughter have been made illegal. In order to build your slideshow you are tasked with manually rewiring every fiber of his brain.

You begin by browsing the offered themes. Most are better than blank white, but all feel generic, soulless, and corporate.

Maybe a photo will help. You copy and paste a key image. For some reason it fills up the entire slide. You begin resizing and reformatting and dragging. Desperately you wrangle the little red alignment lines. They scatter and dance around your page and do everything they can to evade you.

You decide to improve your text. You look through the font options. There are literally hundreds of fonts. More fonts than anyone could need, use or know. If fonts were foreign national treasures, Google Slides would be the British National Museum. If fonts were Patagonia jackets, Google Slides would be San Francisco.

You try a few and settle on Times New Roman. You change the font color. The options they suggest all somehow make your text look like it was written by a child.

You check the clock. You've been working for 45 minutes and you've made two slides that you aren't proud of.

You have a few options:

1. Choose one of the generic themes from the catalog, input your content, and end up with a slideshow that you aren't proud of and won't impress anyone.

2. Pay $69.99 for the 12 step tutorial on how to build slide decks, watch 4 unrelated YouTube videos because the tutorial was a scam, pay a kid from Indonesia $25 to make your slides for you. He uses one of the generic themes from the catalog.

3. Leave it all behind. Move to Nebraska. Grow corn. Live from sunrise to sunset and wash the soil from your hands at the end of every long day.

The solution: Padlet Slideshow. If you know how to build a padlet, you know how to use Slideshow. Post your content on a padlet and click the Slideshow button. Build presentations 10x more beautiful in 10% of the time. Here's how:

Beautiful and complete design in one single click

Slideshow is a miracle cure that actually works. It's too good to be true and yet, here it is. You add your content to a padlet, and you click the button. Like magic, you have a beautiful presentation.

Every post becomes a slide. The fonts are sized automatically. The colors are determined by your chosen wallpaper. You can navigate with your cursor or your keyboard. The presentation will be updated live when you edit the padlet it references.

You will never need to resize the font. You will never need to scale photos. You will never need to choose colors that work together. Everything will work perfectly and look great instantly.

If you can copy and paste your thoughts and attachments into a padlet, you can create a beautiful presentation. Yes. It really is that simple.

Beautiful with any content

A post on Padlet can contain a subject text, body text, and any kind of attachment type. Any combination of these ingredients will be formatted to look great in Slideshow.

You post a huge block of text: the slide looks great. You post a YouTube link: the YouTube video will be playable in your slideshow. You post a tweet: the tweet displays as a preview in your slide.

Any kind of attachment combination will look great in your Padlet-generated slideshow.

Present on any device

One of the biggest disadvantages of making slideshows on traditional software like Slides, PowerPoint, and Keynote is that they confine your presentation to one screen size. With them, your presentation will only look good in the aspect ratio you design it in.

With Padlet, your slideshow will adapt and look beautiful on whatever screen it shows up on.

Set your slideshow free!

Create on any device

To build a slideshow with Padlet, all you need to do is to build a padlet. Making a padlet on mobile is easy. With Padlet slideshow view, you can now build and edit beautiful slideshows on your phone.

Remember, your slideshow will update automatically with your padlet. So if you're on the way to a meeting and you notice a typo, or you want to delete an entire slide or change an image, you can make the edit on your phone and your slideshow will update automatically. You will never need to redownload files or reformat slides.

The designer's monopoly on beautiful presentations is over

We encourage experienced deck builders with too much free time to continue handcrafting every detail of massive presentations. The rest of us are free to click a button and move on with our lives.

When will Slideshow be available?

Slideshow is available now on the browser version of Padlet on desktop, mobile, and iPad. Slideshow view is not currently available on the app but it is coming soon.

Let's be honest about how dreadful it is to see overcrowded slides.

Honest about how people seem to think using PowerPoint is an excuse to be boring and vanilla.

Honest about how it's a crutch.

It's so horrible that is a certifiable cultural phenomenon. "Death by PowerPoint"

You need something different, a PowerPoint alternative to blast past your old ways.

It's time to spruce up the standard business presentation and these tools will help you do it.

1. Canva

If you're already in love with for all things online photo editing, you'll find it easy to fall in love with Canva Presentations . It's one of the most visually stunning options on this list of PowerPoint alternatives.

There's loads of free design options and a few inexpensive ones too, but you really can get the full Canva Presentations experience entirely for free.

2. Emaze

But that doesn't mean you need to know anything about HTML5. Don't sweat it-Emaze does all that stuff in the background while you use their easy-to-use interface in the foreground.

Pricing: There's a free option! You can also upgrade to a Pro plan for $10/month or a Business plan for $39/month.

3. Focusky

The specialty of ? HTML5 presentations and animation-based presentations backed by Flash. Their free vector library (more than 5,000 vectors!) makes creating animations easy. Way better than in PowerPoint!

Pricing: Free, Standard ($9.99/month), Professional ($99/month), or Enterprise ($399).

Evernote Alternatives: 17 More Note-Taking Apps For Your To-Do List

4. Google Slides

Another one of my favorites, Google Slides makes collaborating on presentations incredibly easy.

With real-time collaboration, an intuitive interface, and easy integration with all things Google, it's exactly what you'd expect from a Google web app. Here's to an easy-to-use (and share-able!) alternative.

5. Haiku Deck
Pretty visuals But less customization Still better than Pow......erpoint.
(Can we pretend it's okay to end a haiku with a 7-syllable line?)

Oodles and oodles of stock photos! If you see a slideshow with big, bold text and lots of colorful stock photos, you're probably looking at a Haiku Deck. Only con? It's just not as customizable as other alternatives on this list.

Pricing: The Pro plan costs $9.99/month while the Bulk plan starts at $499/year.

6. Keynote

Apple geeks in the house say Heeeey! Hoooo!

is Apple's PowerPoint alternative, originally part of the iWork suite for Macs. But imagine my surprise when I found out you can use Keynote entirely for free through your iCloud account online.

Cons? None. Just kidding. Some people don't like that it's not widely used and switching a Keynote presentation over to PowerPoint doesn't usually go well. Pros? Everything else.

7. Kineticast

Salespeople, this one's for you. Especially you B2B salespeople.

It ain't the prettiest thing in the world, but that's because it doesn't need to be. is for salespeople who care about results, stats, and presenting their content more than fiddling with PowerPoint menus. Kineticast

You can change your message depending on who you're selling to, but other than that, you're locked into a pretty standard template and style. Salespeople rejoice. You don't have to be makeshift designers, but can still deliver a professional and compelling presentation to your top prospects. A top choice for those serious about finding a real, workable alternative to PowerPoint.

Pricing: Plus plan: $24/month; Preferred plan: $39/month; Premium plan: $59/month.

8. PowToon

If you like videos-if you like animation- PowToon's here to save the day.

You know those fun animated videos you sometimes see for product demos? Or those little animations that make understanding complicated ideas a lot more fun? PowToon's probably how they did it. If your content is more dynamic than text and is all about explaining things through animation, PowToon's for you.

Pricing: There's a basic Free plan; there's also Pro and Business plans at $89/month and $197/month, respectively.

15 Excel Alternatives To Help Your Team

9. Prezi

: one of my personal favorites and the first PowerPoint alternative to prove (to me at least) that presentations don't have to be lethally boring.

I love it for its non-linear presentation style, but its inability to support anything additional might be a turn-off for some people. Biggest pro? Simply beautiful, chock-full of brilliant and visually appealing templates. Biggest con? Not totally customizable.

Pricing: There's a free plan; there's also Enjoy, Pro, and Pro Plus plans at $4.92/month, $13.25/month, and $20/month, respectively. Businesses can save with volume-based pricing.

10. Projeqt

It's not super customizable, but when you see all the lovely templates they've got in their library already, you probably won't even care.

11. Slidebean

It ain't fancy, but it gets the job done and it's reliable to boot. If you're looking for top-notch visuals, you'll probably want to check out a different alternative. But if you're looking to focus on the bare bones of a slideshow and put content and accessibility front and center? Slidebean's got your back.

Pricing: Individual plan: $49/month; Teams plan: $99/month for 5 users; Corporate plan available for bigger companies.

12. SlideDog

If you want to give up PowerPoint for some reason ( who you? have you not been reading about all these other awesome alternatives?!), you can still use SlideDog in conjunction with PowerPoint to make things run a bit more smoothly.

SlideDog is a multimedia lover's best friend and is known for its ease of use when incorporating PowerPoint files, Prezi files, video files, PDFs, and plenty of other multimedia types into one nice and easy slideshow.

Pricing: Free or starting at $8.33/month for more features.

21 Top Slack Alternatives in 2017

13. Slidely

Here's a super fun one for all my art friends out there! It's less for business and educational purposes and more for sharing photos and videos with loved ones in a visually stunning way.

But you can totally use it for business, too. How about-instead of cramming all those photos from the last company 5k into a PowerPoint-using Slidely to combine a curated collection of photos with some music and visual effects? All hands meetings just got a lot more fun.

Pricing: It's free! Businesses can benefit from their Promo library service, great for finding stock content to use in marketing videos. Here's more info on Promo pricing .

14. Slides

What do? Not much. Like their Features page says, it's got a ton of functionality but manages to do it without bogging you down. Easy to use on and offline, its only drawback might be that its limited template library mean it's not 100% customizable. But the templates they do have look pretty great to me.

Pricing: There's a free option; there's also Lite, Pro, and Team plans at $5, $10, and $20 per month, respectively.

15. Sway

You didn't think we'd poo poo all over Microsoft without giving them a chance to redeem themselves, did you?!

16. Visme

Have you ever seen someone using a PowerPoint presentation for something that'd do much better in a different format? You watch a PowerPoint full of sales reports with lines of numbers and cringe and just want to help the poor soul who thought a set of slides was the most engaging way to present this information.

Have no fear. is here. It's simply beautiful- and not just for slideshows. Open your mind to infographics, data visualizations, and visually stunning reports as fresh ways to present information to your audience.

Pricing: The Basic plan is free! Standard plan: $10/month; Complete plan: $19/month; Team plan: $57/month for 3 users.

17. Zoho Show

It's a pretty solid PowerPoint alternative with all the features you'd expect: cloud-based, offline presentation mode, and easy sharing and collaboration. Already use the rest of the Zoho Suite? Then Zoho Show is a no-brainer for you.

Pricing: They've got a free option which allows for up to 25 users! For everything you get, it's got one of the best free plan options we've seen so far. Upgrade to Standard for $5/user/month or Premium for $8/user/month.

Slideshows CAN Be Fun

Believe it or not, they actually don't have to be soul-sucking.

PowerPoint isn't this big, evil thing, but we do have to admit it outdated. The fact it's stuck around this long is-seriously, nothing but respect here-truly remarkable.

It's time. Which tool will use for the next few (maybe even 30!) years?

You've encountered a problem with a bank, insurance company, government agency, employer, or even a school. You need to persuade someone to do something, or help you with something. How do you write a persuasive letter that works? Here are some key ideas for your persuasive letter.

Add New Question

My teacher says I have very poor verbs she said I need powerful verbs, what should I do?

When choosing your verbs, try looking up synonyms of the verbs you normally use. Look for synonyms that have more punch or character. For example, instead of saying, "I went to the mountains", you might say, "I journeyed to the mountains". Most importantly, practice substituting your mundane verbs out for more interesting ones. Practice will make it easier in the future.

How do I start a sentence when writing a persuasive letter?

Try using connectives, like: First and foremost, in addition to or furthermore.

Why should I have original signatures on all my letters?

It is proof that you have really written the letter, and your signature serves as a guarantee that everything you've said in the letter is true and that you stand by it.

See more answers

Make it formal. The person who will be reading the letter will not believe you if you use chatty or informal language. Formal language is also just more polite than using pointless slang!

Use flattery. The person you're trying to persuade would rather help someone who is kind to them.

Stay on topic. Take care not to add random information that has no bearing on the issue at hand. Instead, stick to the relevant facts and be simple. Use the facts to be descriptive.

To write a persuasive letter, start by stating your main point within the first couple of sentences so it's clear right away what you want. Then, emphasize the importance of your request with supporting details like facts, quotes, and statistics. Remember to make your sentences short and to the point so that you don't bore or frustrate the reader. Additionally, keep your tone factual and polite to avoid coming across as demanding or overly emotional. For more advice, including how to properly format a persuasive letter, keep reading.

It is proof that you have really written the letter, and your signature serves as a guarantee that everything you've said in the letter is true and that you stand by it.

See more answers

Make it formal. The person who will be reading the letter will not believe you if you use chatty or informal language. Formal language is also just more polite than using pointless slang!

Use flattery. The person you're trying to persuade would rather help someone who is kind to them.

Stay on topic. Take care not to add random information that has no bearing on the issue at hand. Instead, stick to the relevant facts and be simple. Use the facts to be descriptive.

Share and build a community with Instagram

- [Garrick] Instagram is a unique social media service where images are more important than words. On Instagram, you can post photos and videos that you shoot on your mobile device and share them with the people who follow you. And of course you can follow and view the posts of your friends and other people you're interested in keeping up with. But there's a lot more to Instagram than that. Once photos have been posted, you can comment on them and start a conversation about the images. It's a great way to interact with the people you follow and who follow you. And you can also take advantage of other features of the platform like Stories and Reels. Hi, I'm Garrick Chow, and I'm looking forward to showing you how to shoot, edit, and post photos and videos to your account as well as how to build and interact with your community on the Instagram platform.

Practices of Exemplary Leadership - Kouzes and Posner

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
James Kouzes and Barry Posner offered a notable version of a functional leadership model in their book, The Leadership Challenge (1987). It is more prescriptive than Adair's model and aimed more at high-level leaders like CEOs, but it's a significant contribution to the thinking on effective leadership.

Kouzes and Posner's earlier Trait-Theory leadership model, which led them to develop their Five Leadership Practices model, is explained earlier in the Trait-Theory sub-section of leadership models.

Like some other leadership theorists, they developed a modular theory into a proprietary product, in this case, a program for leadership development.

This model is also known as Kouzes and Posner's Leadership Challenge Model.

Kouzes and Posner summarise their program about what leadership is, and what they believe leadership means to people.

The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®

Kouzes and Posner created their Five Leadership Practices model after researching people's personal experiences of excellent leadership. From this, they claimed that "...good leadership is an understandable and universal process..." involving five practices and, within each of those, two key behaviours.

Here is an outline of the Kouzes and Posner model.

Five Leadership Practices - Summary

Inspiring a Shared Vision

Leaders should begin work on their vision before enlisting others to refine it and make it theirs. Emphasis on visualisation and using powerful evocative language to capture the vision to inspire others.

Kouzes and Posner's model is well researched and much work by the pair continues to extend the theory, and also the suggested means of adoption and implementation across large organisations.

Kouzes and Posner's theory is in the 'leader-as-hero' tradition.

It therefore largely ignores more recent ideas about sharing leadership.

It is also fair to say that a more naturally low-profile, a contemplative leader would probably find it harder to adopt these behavioural practices than a gregarious visionary leader, so the model may not work for everyone.

Choosing how to design your resume is one of the most important decisions you make when job-hunting.

Good resume design adds personality and flair to your application, communicates information effectively, and helps your application stand out.

On the other hand, a poorly designed resume will make you look like an amateur, leave a negative impression with recruiters, and sink your chances of landing an interview.

To ensure your application isn't weakened by its layout, we've compiled a list of the eleven best resume designs and professional resume templates of 2020, and explain what makes them effective.

11 well-designed resumes

Ask any hiring manager and they'll agree: there's an endless supply of bland resumes out there.

These 11 resume styles are not bland. Each one embodies a unique aesthetic or boasts an inspired design choice, all while remaining professional and including the necessities of a strong resume.

1. A clean & minimal resume

This modern resume design from Etsy is a great example of how you can design a resume that draws attention to your experience without sacrificing its visual appeal.

The subtle, minimal lines break up space in a way that's both efficient and pleasing to the eye. Meanwhile, the sleek icons used in the resume header communicate information without distracting the reader.

Without a doubt, this design is minimalism done right.

2. A professional but beautiful resume

Playful but elegant, the Windsor resume template is an example of how to balance professionalism with personality. Bold, colorful lines frame each section, and help guide the reader toward the most critical points of your experience.

Not only that, but the extra-large header packs a visual punch, and guarantees that - if nothing else - the hiring manager will remember your name long after reading your resume.

3. A bold & creative resume

The "Jaipur" design from Etsy is a confident, modern, and unabashedly creative visual resume. A large, colorful header immediately draws attention to your name, and adds a sense of balance to its vertically split resume layout.

Additionally, the splashes of color before each section add visual consistency, and quickly guide the reader toward each section.

4. A corporate & confident resume

Featuring a bold header and no-nonsense layout, our Corporate resume template is the perfect example of a resume design that's confident and modern.

The use of a shaded sidebar organizes your contact information, so that your experience can take the spotlight. Meanwhile, the wide header adds a bit of color and gives your name and title the impact they deserve.

This design is ideal for those working in business and anyone aiming to upgrade their career.

5. A confident but pretty resume

Bold but not overly serious - this striking design from Etsy shows how to hit the perfect balance between professionalism and personality. It uses subtle, warm colors and a friendly italic font to offset the hard lines dividing each section.

In addition, the solid border demands attention and frames the content of the resume.

6. A trendy, cool resume

Sporting a slick shade of millennial pink, the Stylish resume template from Resume Companion feels contemporary, sleek, and professional.

But what we really love about this design is the color contrast of the sidebar, which is a refreshing departure from the standard horizontal layout. Not only that, but the sidebar also packs in all of your additional information so that the reader's primary focus is your work experience.

7. A skill-centric resume

Titled the Advanced resume template, this skill-heavy design uses shading to emphasize key parts of your resume. By moving the skills section toward the top of the page and highlighting each skill in a colored bubble, for instance, this design immediately brings attention to your core resume skills.

Your contact information also immediately stands out using the same effect, helping to make your name stick in the hiring manager's mind.

This design trick - plus a professional, space-efficient design - makes this the perfect format for those working in a more technical industry, as well as anyone who needs to highlight their skillset.

8. An infographic resume

Titled the Detailed resume template, this design is bold and creative. It incorporates an infographic element into the design with a detailed skills chart and bright colors. Using the chart, you can highlight a range of skills and show employers how proficient you are in each. This is particularly useful for displaying a more technical skill set.

This resume template also includes a bold sidebar that draws attention to your name and job title, making it more likely that your name will stand out as memorable for hiring managers. Two columns help to organize the additional resume sections, keeping the design clean and aesthetically pleasing.

9. A high-contrast resume

This template from TheResumeBoutique on Etsy creates a strong impression with its use of contrast. The juxtaposition of the black, white and gray shapes clearly separate each resume section, while the contrast of the font color against the page draws the hiring manager's eye to your important information.

Most striking is the black sidebar featuring the header, resume introduction, contact information and expertise sections. This is a resume design that is sure to make a lasting impression on any hiring manager.

10. A resume with an eye-catching header

This resume design from CareeristDesignCo features a unique header design that immediately draws attention to the candidate's name and professional title. It's simple yet effective, creating visual appeal without sacrificing any professionalism.

This design is well-organized with a simple structure, which hiring managers always appreciate. From the header, the hiring manager's eyes naturally follow the flow of the two columns, making your information very easy to navigate and skim.

11. A resume with a bold border

This resume from TheArtofResume offers a simple design framed by a two-toned blue border. Creating a border around your resume is a great way to personalize your application and add some visual flair. A border is also an easy addition because it doesn't require any complicated formatting or rearranging your resume sections.

If you want to use a traditional resume layout but are looking to add some personality to the design, including a border is a good option.

Keep in mind that if you want to print your resume, you may need to get it professionally printed in order to keep your border. However if you're submitting your documents electronically, this won't pose a problem.

How to Design a Resume the Right Way

Knowing where to start when designing your resume is difficult - especially if you don't have a background in design.

Here are three tips to get you started with updating your resume and nailing down the fundamentals of resume design.

1. Choose your font

It may not seem like it, but it can be difficult to choose the best font for your resume.

To make the best choice, note the level of formality expected of a professional in the field you're applying to. Then, use a font that is appropriate for that level of formality.

For example, for the vast majority of jobs, fonts like Garamond, Helvetica, Cambria, and Georgia are acceptable. Fonts like Impact, Courier, and (of course) Comic Sans are not.

Additionally, avoid fonts that are difficult to read, as they often confuse applicant tracking systems (ATS) and get your resume eliminated before it's even seen by the hiring manager.

2. Use the right margins

While resume margins may seem insignificant, they actually play a major role in the design of your resume.

Too wide and you not only waste space, but your resume design also looks awkward and sparse. But too narrow, and the page will look cramped.

Most applicants default to 1" margins, the international standard. However, adjust your margins depending on your needs. If you find you need more space, don't be afraid to narrow them a bit.

3. Hit the perfect length

With all this talk of design, you may be wondering: how long should a resume be, anyway?

Unless you have decades of experience, your resume should be a maximum of one page.

One page is enough space to summarize your relevant professional experience, without going on for so long that you bore the hiring manager.

However, if you have a wealth of experience, or your particular career requires a longer resume format (academia, government, etc.), then your resume can be two pages or more.

This article throws light upon ten main factors to be considered while selecting the means of communication. The factors are: 1. Nature of Message 2. Cost 3. Record 4. Distance 5. Scale of Organisation 6. Supporting Technology 7. Urgency 8. Secrecy 9. Safety 10. Relationship.

The means of communication depends upon the nature of the message. Urgent, confidential, private and important messages should be distinguished from ordinary, routine, open and less important messages and the means of communication are to be chosen accordingly.

The cost of sending a message is also to be considered while selecting a mode of communication. The result obtained should justify the expenditure.

If the record of the communication is important it should be written, otherwise oral communication is sufficient.

Distance is another factor for consideration. The mode of communication to be chosen depends on whether the message is to be sent to a nearby place or somewhere at a long distance.

Means of communication in large-scale business is different from that in the small-scale. In small business most communication is oral while in large business it is written.

Both the sender and the receiver must have supporting technological communication tool to make communication through a particular medium. Suppose, A sends an e-mail to B. To get the e-mail B should have a personal computer.

Again, to get a fax message one should possess a fax machine. Therefore, while selecting a means of communication one has to consider whether supporting technological tool is available at the other end.

Selection of the means of communication is to be made keeping in view the urgency of the communication. Time available is the main factor here. Higher cost may be justified for sending the message in time.

If the message to be communicated is secret or confidential, such means are required to be adopted that can maintain secrecy. A telephone call can be overheard, an e-mail or fax may not be appropriate, and an office memo may be less confidential. In such cases, face-to-face talking may solve the problem.

The sender has to be careful about the safety of the message. He/She has to decide whether the message would be sent by ordinary post or by registered post; through courier or messenger, etc.

Factor # 10. Relationship:

The relationship between the sender and recipient may be a decisive factor in the choice of the means of communication. Message of private nature may require personal contact whereas formal relationship demands official and conventional mode of communication.

APA Style is widely used by students, researchers, and professionals in the social and behavioral sciences. Scribbr's free citation generator automatically generates accurate references and in-text citations.

This citation guide outlines the most important citation guidelines from the 7th edition APA Publication Manual (2020).

APA in-text citations

The basics

APA in-text citations include the author's last name, publication date, and, if relevant, a locator such as a page number or timestamp. For example, (Smith, 2021, p. 170). See it as a shorter version of the entry in the reference list.

You should include in-text citations every time you're quoting or paraphrasing someone else's ideas or words. In doing so, you give credit to the original author and avoid plagiarism.

Parenthetical vs. narrative citation

The in-text citation can take two forms: parenthetical and narrative. Both types are generated automatically when citing a source with Scribbr's APA Citation Generator.

Parenthetical citation: According to new research ... (Smith, 2020).

Narrative citation: Smith (2020) notes that ...

Multiple authors and corporate authors

The in-text citation changes slightly when a source has multiple authors or an organization as an author. Pay attention to punctuation and the use of the ampersand (&) symbol.

Missing information

When the author, publication date or locator is unknown, take the steps outlined below.

*Format the title based on its formatting in the corresponding reference entry (either italicized or, if the title in the reference entry is not italicized, placed in quotation marks). Use title case capitalization.

APA references

The basics

APA references generally include information about the author, publication date, title, and source. Depending on the type of source, you may have to include extra information that helps your reader locate the source.

Reference examples

Citing a source starts with choosing the correct reference format. Use Scribbr's Citation Example Generator to learn more about the format for the most common source types. Pay close attention to punctuation, capitalization, and italicization.

Missing information

It is not uncommon for certain information to be unknown or missing, especially with sources found online. In these cases, the reference is slightly adjusted.

Formatting the APA reference page

The basics

On the reference page, you list all the sources that you've cited throughout your paper. Place the page, right after the main body and before any appendices.

On the first line of the page, write the section label "References" (in bold and centered). On the second line, start listing your references in alphabetical order.

Apply these formatting guidelines to the APA reference page:

Double spacing (within and between references)

Hanging indent of ½ inch

Legible font (e.g. Times New Roman 12 or Arial 11)

Page number in the top right header

Which sources to include

On the reference page, you only include sources that you have cited in the text (with an in-text citation). You should not include references to personal communications that your reader can't access (e.g. emails, phone conversations or private online material).

Tools and resources

In addition to the APA Citation Generator, Scribbr provides many more tools and resources that help millions of students and academics every month.

Backwards Course Planning

What is Backwards Course Planning?

Course Planning and Development

Why Use Backwards Course Planning?

How to Use Backwards Course Planning

Click on the topics below to expand the sections:

Use this worksheet to help plan your course using the principles of backwards course planning.

Step 1: Start with Outcomes

Begin by identifying or creating the outcomes for your course. Think about these outcomes at the course level, but refer to the higher program-level and vocational outcomes as well when designing your course.

Your course outcomes may already exist in your DCO and syllabus, or you may be able to create them yourself.

Look at the program's vocational outcomes or curriculum map.

For vocational outcomes, visit the Academic Toolbox on MyCambrian. Click on the course and explore the Master Syllabus and DCO.

For College Program Standards, you can find vocational learning outcomes, essential employability skills and general education requirements on the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website . Find your program/course of study in the list at the bottom of the page.

Curriculum maps can be obtained from your program coordinator.

The vocational outcomes identified in the curriculum map for your program should be what you are aligning your course outcomes to.

Step 2: Assess Students Against the Outcomes

Now that you've identified what your outcomes are, you can think about how students will demonstrate the skills and learning required to achieve those outcomes. This is done through the final exam, quizzes, assignments and activities. Ideally, you should include a mix of both formative assessments and summative assessments. Identify assessments that accurately measure student performance to the same level of learning that you've indicated in the course learning outcome.

For example, if the course outcome is "students will be able to insert a catheter", the assessment should not be a multiple choice quiz. The student should be doing the activity, such as in a lab setting perhaps with simulation mannequins, in order to effectively demonstrate that skill.

Refer to the above video in "Getting Started" to learn how to align your assessments to the outcomes.

Step 3: Determine Learning Activities to Achieve the Outcomes

Now that you've identified how your students will demonstrate their learning, you can now design the learning activities that will teach them what they need to know for those assessments. These learning activities include your content and weekly activities. Specifically, these include lessons, readings, additional resources, books and textbooks, websites, videos, and more.

A very important part of this step is to think about how your content builds knowledge and skills for your students. Think about how your introductory activities lead to more intermediate and advanced skill- and knowledge-building. By moving students progressively from introductory instruction toward more self-directed activities, you can effectively bring them closer to independence in their learning; this is known as scaffolding . Therefore, how does week one lead into week two, and so forth, until students have been given enough time, practice, application and summarization activities to give them the best chance of success in demonstrating the learning outcomes.

If you need some assistance or inspiration on designing your learning activities, a great resource is the Jumpstart Model from the Durham CAFE at Durham College. There, you can find all types of activities that can help you design assessments and meet learning outcomes.

What is Bloom's Taxonomy (Outcome Based Education) by Dr. Kamran Moosa

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In 1993, Research Roundup published a collection of reviews that described outcomes-based education (OBE) as "a controversial model of educational restructuring," where learning was defined as a clear demonstration of what a student can know and show.

Almost two and a half decades later, the concept of organizing curriculum, content, and learning activities around specific, demonstrable outcomes is still rather controversial.

To make matters more challenging, terms such as competencies and competency-based learning, mastery and mastery-based learning are often used in the same sentence to describe different aspects of the same idea.

If we're to thoughtfully unbox the ways these terms and models differ, let's start with how they're similar since they all focus on what a learner should be able to know and do.

What is outcomes-based education (OBE)?

First and foremost, OBE is an organizational structure. It's a way to structure content around activities that lead to demonstrable proficiency of a specific skill, knowledge, or behavior. As a learning model, OBE is non-prescriptive. Instead, it offers a handful of principles that are worth considering in more detail.

Student-centered

As a learning model, outcomes-based education starts by asking: what does a learner need to do to demonstrate mastery of a particular skill, knowledge, or behavior? Such an approach puts student needs front and center of the learning design process.

Clarity

Given that all learning objectives in an outcomes-based education model are clearly spelled out ahead of time, learners know what's expected of them and can adjust their focus and questions more appropriately.

Flexibility

An outcomes-based education model must be flexible enough to adjust to a learner's strengths and weaknesses. Flexibility is also important for providing learners enough time to attain fluency or proficiency.
Check out our guide for restructuring courses around outcomes-based education
How does outcomes-based education compare to other models?

When looking at how outcomes-based model compares to a mastery or competency-based learning model, the same principles align quite nicely.

Here's how outcome-based education is similar to mastery-based learning:

There are clear criteria for what constitutes mastery

Instruction is thoughtful and adapts to learner needs

Learners are assisted when and where they have challenges

Learners are given adequate time to achieve mastery

Here's how outcome-based education is similar to competency-based learning:

There are clear criteria for measuring fluency/proficiency

It's adaptive to student needs

Learner support is provided when and where it's needed most

Learners are given sufficient time to achieve mastery

How does outcomes-based education differ from mastery-based learning?

While the similarities between outcomes, mastery, and competency-based learning models are clear, the differences are a bit subtler.

Competency-based learning is generally a self-paced model that falls under the umbrella of outcomes, but with specific learning objectives often relating to workplace needs. All three learning models focus primarily on the steps and methods that lead to proficiency. The major difference is that OBE includes an additional component:

Why being proficient in a particular skill, knowledge, or behavior matters.

This subtle difference is important. The objective of mastery-based learning is to help students learn, but it applies directly to content. Outcomes-based education incorporates the principles of mastery-based learning, but it goes much further than just the content. It looks at what students are learning and why.

In the end it can be argued that these terms share an important agreement about starting with the end in mind.

What are the challenges of an outcomes-based education model?

Finally, no unboxing would be complete without addressing a handful of challenges associated with any of these models.

Time and energy

Any outcomes, mastery, or competency-based course, program, or project takes time and energy to:

Produce meaningful content

Construct reliable metrics for success

Support students with regular and substantive feedback and interactivity

Unbundling instructional roles

In each of these models you might notice that function tends to drive form. A subject-matter expert is clearly needed to provide appropriate content for lessons. Yet this expert might not be the best judge of mastery. In this case an institution might consider hiring faculty or specialists to manage the assessment components of lessons. This move to a possibly more objective form of evaluation and assessment could be considered controversial, yet it might be useful in determining what forms accountability can and should take. (Hint: probably more than one or two.)

Disruption

Such a shift in how instruction, assessment, and support is organized can be disruptive. But if it's well-managed, it can yield remarkable results for learners and institutions. This kind of shift will require time and planning devoted to change management and making sure the organization can support the lift.

As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day. It actually took about 1,009,491 days. Not to mention, the city itself has been sacked and rebuilt several times - hopefully this will provide you some degree of comfort as you draft your transition plans.
