The following usenet groups are a good source of information about
various on-line or distance leanring programs:
alt.distance.learning
alt.education.learning
Also, both the state of New York (http://sln.suny.edu/SLN), and
the state of Florida (http://www.fsu.edu) are offering on-line
degrees for most of their traditional programs.
Your first option is using EMACS or XEMACS. They have a diary, and simple database system built in. However if you do not like the interface I would suggest you roll your own.
The quickest option is to write a web based app that utilizes the following:
1)mysql or whatever db u like
2)apache
3) perl or php
4) w3m ( or lynx but w3m renders tables ).
I have used the above set up to write a web based checkbook manager and addressbook for my own personal use. Initially I had written it all using perl but I switched all the web based stuff to php. I still use perl for my addressbook since I can quickly look up addresses/phone numbers from the command line. I also set my text-mode screen size to 80x50. Combined with w3m it works really well.
Other options, which I haven't explored, is to use the curses lib with perl,python, or whatever language, along with some sql db. For these kinds of apps I think scripting languages are best. Faster development time.
