In Situ Vision: The Student Experience Of Collaborative Learning In A Virtual Drawing Class, Annette Cohen
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses

The results of this study further suggest wider applications for leadership and businesses in general, affirming the importance of and the need to support professional working relationships.
