Key MLA Formatting Rules

  • Style the webinar title like a course title — no quotation marks and no italics.
  • Name the sponsoring organization after the title, then the date.
  • Add the supplemental "Webinar" element at the end for a live session.
  • For a recording, end with the URL instead (omit the http:// scheme).
