ABSTRACT
The 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.

Keywords deposit protocol · desktop tool · EPrints · metadata standard · OER · Open Educational Resources
