Have you thought about using TiddlySpace[1]? You could then use the
inclusion mechanism so that the students could all have a copy of the
central notes tiddlywiki.
Also Rakugo has written a plugin[2] that regularly looks for updates
to the space (tiddlywiki) you or numerous people are working on and
pulls in the newer tiddlers if there have been updates.
If TiddlySpace isn't an option for you then what Rakugo is suggesting
is to do the following.
Write a Javascript function that pulls in the tiddlers you need it to,
e.g.
var myFunction = function() {
//.... your code goes here ..../
};
Make this function call itself every X milliseconds, and also run it
the first time , e.g.
var myFunction = function() {
//.... your code goes here ..../
setTimeout(myFunction, X); // replace X with time, such as 10000
};
// starts the loop
myFunction();
Hope that helps
