October Live Webinars
Next week, we're excited to host two live student webinars. "Welcome to the Writing Center" is a great webinar for you if you're new to Walden, haven't used the Writing Center much yet, or would like some guidance on what resources are most helpful depending on the time you have and your learning style.
October is a special month for the Walden community, as students, faculty, and staff come together with each other and in their communities to celebrate Global Days of Service. This year marks Walden's 15th Global Days of Service, a dedicated time to volunteer and enact positive social change through service.
To join in the celebration, our second webinar this month, "Using Restorative Writing to Enact Social Change," is a specialized discussion about using writing to transform pain into engagement and even potentially social change. In this interactive session, learn what restorative writing is, why it matters, and how to use it for healing, self-care, and building stronger communities.
If you can't attend the webinars live, visit our webinar recordings archive to access recordings and transcripts for all of our webinars. Better yet, register for the webinars below to receive the recording links by email as soon as they're available!

August Live Webinar Schedule
Can you believe it’s August already? During this classic back-to-school season, check out our live webinar calendar. Hope to see you there!
Transitioning from Corsework to Doctoral Capstone Writing
Essential Elements for Writing Annotated Bibliographies
Writing Literature Reviews in Your Graduate Coursework
Never miss a new post; Opt-out at any time
Tuesday, August 4, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Audience: Doctoral Capstone students
Writing a doctoral capstone document, such as a dissertation or a doctoral or project study, is a unique process with its own challenges. Often the shorter writing and research assignments you have done in courses do not accurately reflect what it takes to craft a book-length document that contains an original scholarly contribution, which is what your capstone will be. This webinar addresses the ways writing the doctoral capstone differs from writing for graduate courses and outlines some helpful strategies for how to approach the writing process as you move into the capstone phase.
Essential Elements for Writing Annotated Bibliographies
Thursday, August 13, 7:00-8:00 p.m. ET
Audience: Graduate students
This session discusses the do's and don'ts of annotated bibliographies using examples. This session is relevant for any graduate students who will be or have completed an annotated bibliography as part of their course work or in preparation for a doctoral capstone study. We also explain how annotated bibliographies can be used by all writers as a way to take notes and organize research. If you are currently writing or will write a large research paper, this is the webinar for you!
Writing Literature Reviews in Your Graduate Coursework
Tuesday, August 18, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
Audience: Graduate students
Are you writing a literature review in one of your master's or doctoral courses? This webinar is for you! Literature reviews often require a large amount of research and organization as you collect multiple perspectives on a topic and synthesize them together. In this webinar, you'll learn tips for how to successfully write a literature review for your courses.
Note: This webinar will not address literature reviews in doctoral capstones (dissertations and project studies). To learn about literature reviews in doctoral capstones, see the webinar "Reviewing the Literature and Incorporating Previous Research," as well as the Doctoral Capstone Form and Style website.
If you are unable to attend any of these sessions in person, we post recordings of every live webinar event on the Walden University Writing Center website. The recordings of these sessions are posted 24 hours after they take place, and you can watch them free and on-demand.

APA 7 Update for Doctoral Students
If you are a Walden doctoral student working on your capstone, you may be wondering if and when you should be learning APA 7 and transitioning your document to follow the new guidelines. For details on a grace period for students actively working on their final studies or project, please see the Grace Period Update on our APA 7 Transition page.
Here are some other key dates to keep in mind regarding the university’s transition to APA 7:
• May 4: All of the Writing Center’s webpages, APA videos, modules, and webinars will be updated for APA 7.
• Summer term starts (May 4 for semester-based programs and June 1 for quarter-based and Tempo programs): Beginning with summer term starts through the end of 2020, the Writing Center’s form and style editors will provide support for both APA 6 and APA 7.
• June 1: Templates for both APA 6 and APA 7 will be available through the Writing Center. We will also provide instructions for adjusting text in an APA 6 doctoral capstone template to comply with APA 7, so that students transitioning from APA 6 to APA 7 in their capstones can avoid starting with a new template.
• January 1, 2021: All doctoral students working on their capstones will follow APA 7 guidelines.
To help doctoral capstone students transition to APA 7, the Writing Center is hosting a new live webinar in May, as well as our regular, all-student APA webinars that have been updated for APA 7. Find the registration information in the links below and on our webinar calendar page. If you’re unable to attend live, you can watch a recording of the webinars, which will be available from our webinar recordings archive.
