This document discusses a presentation on speed referencing using the OSCOLA style. It describes adapting referencing workshops for large lecture theaters with over 500 students. Examples are provided of referencing a book, article, and blog in OSCOLA style within 1 minute periods. Changes made to make the content more accessible and relevant for the large group include putting materials and referencing rules on single slides, removing handouts, using contract law examples, and reducing the number of examples due to time constraints. The goal is to make referencing interactive and interesting for a large audience.

12. Changes made to speed referencing
• Materials broadly similar – image and text in one slide (accessible)
• No handouts – impractical for large group sessions
• Changed examples as session part of Contract Law module (relevance)
• Referencing rules at the top of each slide (scaffolding)
• Use timed (60 second) transitions in Powerpoint slides (speed)
• Reduced number of questions from 5 to 3 (fixed lecture time)

13. Happy referencing
