Colouring Between The Lines: The Impact of Flexible Learning Spaces on First Year Art & Design Students Attitudes to their Learning Experience with Higher Education

This website is part of a research project entitled ‘Colouring Between the Lines: The Impact of Flexible Learning Spaces on First Year Art & Design Students Attitudes to their Learning Experience within Higher Education’.
