Inspired by @oldaily's #el30 Elearning 3.0 series I have just added a #meded project to the distributed web. It now has a permanent place on the web without even requiring a server. #eldercareApp https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/Qme7F72usRCWJtRzRXBaUeKmeQW2xCChdCHaVXQdTJP2c3/

So what does that all mean?

Why get a webserver to host your content? Webservers and websites don't last but if your content is known by its ID and shared on the distributed web then copies of it could be held. If it is popular content perhaps many copies would be made by peers and the important stuff survives. It means you can literally publish to the web without a webserver - you just need to leave your PC running for a while so that others can cache your content.

Open learning resources could be published in this way. By adding the project files to my local IPFS (the fantastically name InterPlanetary File System) it is available to anyone else with an ipfs daemon running or via the gateways using the ID "Qme7F72usRCWJtRzRXBaUeKmeQW2xCChdCHaVXQdTJP2c3".

So the Eldercare App project is now available on this peer-to-peer network / the distributed web / Web 3.0. It may survive as a collection of content cryptographically hashed. Any duplication of content is recognised - so the stylesheets and JavaScript libraries used in the project have possibly already been added to the distributed web and new copies aren't made.

Glad to announce a first elearning 3.0 project - the Eldercare App.

Eldercare is also available at Cloudfare's IPFS gateway ... https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/Qme7F72usRCWJtRzRXBaUeKmeQW2xCChdCHaVXQdTJP2c3/
