I think Blackboard can accomplish this task, but that is completely
overkill.  Also, I wouldn't personally recommend running that product
even if it were open source.  I only mention this because there are open
source products that share many of the features that might help you
locate similar stuff.  Also, try searching for Angel and other clones.
Good luck!
