I do pretty much the same thing for my course contents. I think the following is relevant to what you want:

http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/2259/how-to-export-top-level-headings-of-org-mode-buffer-to-separate-files
How can each top-level heading of an org-mode buffer be exported to a separate file named after the value of the corresponding CUSTOM_ID + (sanitized) title?

thank you, Joon, that is extremely helpful.  Do you have a publishing setup in which you use this function? It looks like it would have to be rewritten somewhat to accept the parameters (plist filename pub-dir); I am either too tired or twoo stupid (or both! ) figure it out quickly, so if you have it done already I would be very grateful to see it. 

Thank you!
