The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Socio-emotional connections: identity, belonging and learning in online interactions. A literature review (2014, methodology): “…contributing to building community has been the driving force behind many studies (such as Rovai, 2002b; Ouzts, 2006; Bartlett, 2008; Exter et al., 2009) with a strong connection between sense of community and student satisfaction (Rovai, 2002c; Dawson, 2006; Liu et al., 2007; Koh & Hill, 2009).”
Research in online and blended learning in the business disciplines: Key findings and possible future directions (2009, background): “Williams et al. (2006) found that group cohesiveness mediated the teamwork–learning relationship, but neither Clark and Gibb (2006) nor Liu et al. (2007, 2008) found any significant relationships to learning outcomes.”
