Where is Content Stored?

Did you know that LiaScript tries to be agnostic as possible, when it comes to hosting? The thing is, you host your content by your own and only refer to it, via a URL-Parameter that you attach to the LiaScript website. https://LiaScript.github.io/course/?THE_URL_TO_YOUR_COURSE.md Git - Platforms Although, we prefer GitHub & git for versioning, hosting, and publishing, you should be able to use any versioning system or platform to host your course content.

Sharing Content via Tor and OnionShare

Why should something like Tor or the Dark-Net be relevant in education at all? If you look at the world map, it quickly becomes clear that the internet is not as free and open as it might seem from Germany. In this map, we have deliberately omitted China and North Korea to give other countries the chance to turn “red” too. Looking at the current situation in Afghanistan, it becomes evident that the right to education is simply not available in many places.
