Integrating Metadata into WISE Learn

Everyone forgets about metadata. They think they can just make stuff and then forget about how it is organized in terms of how you describe your content. But all your assets are useless to you unless you have metadata - your archive is full of stuff that is of no value because you can’t find it and don’t know what it’s about.
