OER Knowledge CloudThesisMohamed, Morwan Nour IThe main objective of this thesis is to provide content creators and educators with a solution that simplifies the process of depositing into digital repositories. We created a desktop tool named ORchiD, Open educational Resources Depository, to achieve this goal. The tool encompasses educational metadata and content packaging standards to create packages while conforming to a deposit protocol to ingest resources to repositories.2012University of Cape TownSouth Africahttps://open.uct.ac.za/handle/11427/11410deposit protocoldesktop toolEPrintsmetadata standardOEROpen Educational Resourcesthesis_sci_2012_mohamed_nour_m.pdfhttps://open.uct.ac.za/handle/11427/11410Cape Town, South Africa, Africa
