No official APA format for citing online classroom materials exists; this is the standard format formulated by UMGC for all students to use when citing such documents.
This format should be used when citing materials that were created for UMGC classrooms. To cite documents available outside of UMGC classrooms that are posted in classrooms (e.g., journal articles, magazine articles, etc.), follow the guidance for the type of source being cited.

If in your Discussion post you quote, paraphrase, or summarize your course module or course readings or other material you researched from the library or the Web or a print source, give an in-text citation AND a reference list citation at the end of your Discussion post in the same manner as you would within a research paper.
If you mention or refer to another student's entry/response in a Discussion post then do not cite it but simply mention the other student's entry in your sentence. Example: I agree with Susan Day (Discussion post, October 30, 2018) where she lists specific state legislatures that supported the Affordable Care Act.
