I meant to mention: this hash was obtained by running on a virtual machine with the ipfs daemon running. The primary point of having this pull request open is so we can test its performance/reliability on the Render preview. |

As should be clear from my write-up in #15, I really want to use ipfs. But I just don't find it reliable, at all. Looking through my notes, I just recalled a critical article from a year ago, and my experiences to date have been similar. Less of a concern, but I've also not consistently been able to get answers to my questions on their forum. |

One alternative to having a giant github repository with all the lesson media would be to host the lesson media on ipfs. Specifically, each lesson could contain a hash to a directory containing all of its media elements. Then each lesson could be edited independent of coordinating changes with the lesson media repository.
Here I do something much simpler and take the first step toward experimenting with this, i.e. serving all lesson media from a single hash over an ipfs/web gateway.
