The proper way to cite content like this can vary by department, course, or instructor, so always be sure to check with your professor about how they would like you to cite resources from your course.
MLA provides some guidelines on how to handle this in this post at the MLA Style Center: How do I cite a book chapter or handout that my professor uploaded to a Web site? This link opens in a new window
Citing Course Content in MLA
General Format:
Lastname, Firstname. Title of the handout or “book chapter.” Title of the Website (container), URL.
For Example:
Levine, Caroline. “Hierarchy.” Brightspace, learn.snhu.edu/.
Southern New Hampshire University. French verb conjugations. Brightspace, learn.snhu.edu/.
