I would not advise recording the actual text verbatim, because I would think
that is still the IP of the publisher (caveat: I'm not a lawyer so don't base
any legally binding decision on what I say), but if it's behind a protected
server, only available to students in the class, limited duration, etc. what
objection would the publisher have if the students are buying the text? Leslie
is right, getting permission is the safest thing to do.

But what's to stop your faculty from being a little more creative, writing their
own scripts, recording original material that covers the same or verisimilar
grammatical or topical areas as the textbook? Have you ever met a faculty
memeber who thought a textbook was perfect as is? This could be an opportunity
to complement the text. More work, sure, but you would own it -- Share it with
the rest of us when you're done :)
