Though the coding of the transcripts was only conducted by the first author, the codebookwas developed in collaboration and iterated multiple times. The codebook for this analysis wasdeveloped by identifying key concepts in a subset of the documents and creating operationaldefinitions for a set of proposed codes based on key concepts, theory, and relevant
the time the University System of Georgia went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 virus. The students had already begun the final project so supplychain issues were not a factor. The biggest issue was communication with students. Fortunately,the University System of Georgia had been phasing into use a system referred to as D2L(or Desire2Learn) for distance learning education. The transition from face-to-face to distancelearning went quite smoothly and occurred just after Spring Break. The issue of being onlinewas the speed of communication. The inherent asynchronous nature of distance learning slowedcommunication down considerably. The following semester, Summer 2020, however, wasanother matter.In Summer semester 2020, the University System of

Organizations are leads to great advantages that can be achieved usinglooking toward deploying and getting benefit of the knowledge knowledge management. On the other hand, there are someand process the management in which call knowledge difficulties which can be faced during the knowledgemanagement.
