VIDEOS

All videos need titles. Only use a caption if you think it's needed to explain further. Keep them short and avoid using questions. Only use the name in the caption.

...

Use caps when you are referring to anything which is an area of study or a subject. Use lower case when you are referring to the noun in a general sense.  It's true that sometimes it's not that clear which you are doing - in this case just use your best judgement!

eg

Geophysics explores the atmosphere and the ground beneath our feet—combining maths and physics with the outdoors. You'll get a solid grounding in the basics of Earth Sciences, Maths and Physics, and then choose to focus on either Meteorology or Solid Earth.

If you want to learn about the Earth and how it works, while working outdoors and honing your skills in maths and physics, Geophysics—Solid Earth is a good choice for you.


FUN FACTS - SOURCES

  1. We name sources for fun facts except those that don’t need it (eg the number of minutes it takes to walk somewhere)
  2. We include the date
  3. If there is a suitable site to link to, we just name the organisation the fact came from and then link to the page (or a pdf if necessary)
  4. If there is not a website, we include just the name of the organisation and the year,  or the publication as per APA style eg Tourism NZ, 2015, Tourism in Aotearoa Today (there will be very few if any of these)
