I record all my teaching these days using iShowU - which is a cheap way to record whatever is on the screen plus a mike for recording the audio For me, this is not perfect as I occasionally use the whiteboard, but it is pretty good and requires no technical support at all - I just bring along my laptop (Powerbook G4) and a decent mike and M-Audio Mobile Pre mixer (converts audio to USB signal) as I find the laptop mike not good enough. I then make the QT video available as a podcast for download for my students - about 50MB storage per hour The only problem then is requiring people to use a mike properly, but it covers use of any software on the laptop. There is other software, but it requires use of Powerpoint or Keynote, which does not cover my use of statistical software, where I want students to see the graphics. I would be very happy if this could be done and made available as podcasts.
