My Online Diary/English Blog application

Please watch the introductory videos: Join, Add entry and Update profile

This site consists of 3 main parts. The first being the student diary. This is written in Japanese and is the main student interface. Students log on and can see their existing diary entries, including diary entries that have been marked by a teacher. The section uses Java Server Pages and runs Java Beans and Scriptlets on the server. These server side components access a MySQL database where diary entries are stored.

The teacher section features a Java applet that allows the teacher to make corrections to a diary entry. The edits made are "marked up" using html when a teacher clicks on a button. The corrected entries are then stored in the database to be access by returning students.

The third section allows students to keep a blog of their diary entries if they choose. These allow students to learn from other's mistakes and discuss their english study in their native language. The discussions are also monitored by teachers who provide advice and can even write lessons which students can reply to.
