Hello Folks:

I regularly videotape students' oral performance on digicam.
I watch it when I evaluate each performance, and give the comments to each
student on a grading sheet. The whole procedure, videotaping and watching
for evaluation, takes lots of time. But students don't read comments
carefully in many cases.

So, I've decided to have them self-comment on the performance.
For this purpose, I want to have the recorded performance available to
students right after their performance (within a day or so).

I usually use a digicam for recording, and download the files and compress
them with i2DVD (I forget the exact name) on Mac. But it also takes time.
Is there any way I can do more quickly. Perhaps recording the performance
with a webcom and directly upload it on a server ?

Any information for hardware/software would be appreciated. (I am thinking
for PC-W2000).

Thank you.
