And then I'd run some elisp that mashes them all up together, and give that to the students, since I think that'll make it easier for them to read.

Anyone on the list have any ideas?

How about using plain old #+INCLUDE:

Example made up from your examples:

===== a.org (for exporting) =====
* Outline
** <2017-09-12 Tue> (Week {{{n}}}) Hacking History in the Himalaya
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#hacking-history-in-the-himalaya-intro" :only-contents t
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#hacking-history-in-the-himalaya-background"
*** Lab 01: Getting Started
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#lab-getting-started" :only-contents t
** <2017-09-19 Tue> (Week {{{n}}}) Language of the Web
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#the-language-of-the-web-intro" :only-contents t
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#the-language-of-the-web-readings"
*** Lab 02: Understanding HTML
#+INCLUDE: "b.org::#lab-understanding-html" :only-contents t

* Discussion Topics
** Hacking History in the Himalaya
*** Intro
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: hacking-history-in-the-himalaya-intro
:END:
Why we should write history, why everyone should do it, and why that means we
need the Web.  Hacker cultures, collaborative learning, knowledge sharing,
non-expert culture. And a few words about the world's third-tallest mountain.

** The Language of the Web
*** Intro
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: the-language-of-the-web-intro
:END:
The Web is written in a language called HTML, with some help from other
lanugages called CSS and _javascript_. The nonlinear and interactive properties of
these languages afford new possibilities for storytelling. We explore how the
Internet works, and what that means for historical narrative.
*** Readings

----------------------

Because the course readings and hte lab are often separate, it can be difficult
and confusing to maintain the course outline in its final form. Id like to be
able, instead, to maintain the labs and readings separately, and /merge/ them to
produce the final document.  So I'd start with something like this:
=====



If it also comes with a thought about how to generate an org date objet form an initial seed and a session number, that's be fabulous too. 

I don't have a good idea on how to implement the date thing, but I see that others have provided some input.
