References

All external resources referred to within a course should be accompanied by references in APA referencing style. References are provided ‘in situ’ in iQualify, which gives learners the benefit of seeing them where they occur and being able to copy and paste details if necessary.

Inserting a reference

• Place the cursor where the reference is to be inserted.
• Choose Reference from the text edit menu.

A dialog box will pop up, allowing you to paste in the reference details.

Select Save. Note: The reference link will appear as a code in the editing environment, as shown below.

Upon saving the text the reference link should look the way it will for the learners – as three dots.

Selecting this symbol brings up the reference details.

Deleting References

Deleting references using the backspace or keyboard can lead to orphaned references and odd behavior. To delete a reference use the DELETE button in the reference dialog box.

Short Guide to APA Referencing

The Short Guide to APA Referencing covers the most common aspects of APA referencing style.

iSearch help with references

iSearch provides a references report that will display all references in your course and where they’ve been used. This can be useful for quality checking and review. See iTools for details.
