Hi,
I use my ipod with a microphone to record.
Tell me more about how the faculty member plans use the files in Moodle.

Hi Donnie,
So far, we've been happy with the Microtrack 24/96:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MicroTrack2496-main.html
It is nice and compact, easy to use, and comes with a small microphone
that has been suitable for the kind of use you describe. A few caveats:
* it ships with a 64MB Compact Flash card, so you may need to upgrade
to more storage right away.
* When the rechargeable battery wears out, the device has to be sent to
the manufacturer for a replacement. M-Audio says they'll charge $75 for
this. We've had ours for just over a year, and so far they are retaining
their charge fairly well, but this is another hidden cost.
For comprehensive reviews of the microtrack and other similar devices,
I usually check out the Tools area at transom.org -

Good luck,
Doug

We have a couple Zoom H4 recorders that work pretty well.
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/H4/
They are cheaper than the Edirol, and the good thing about them is they have
multiple inputs for extra recording devices like mics or even musical
instruments. It provides phantom power to those devices, so no need for an
excessive amount of power cables.
The only downside to the Zoom recorder is that it picks up a bit of body
noise from the case when you are recording. It has great pickup, though, and
the sound quality is actually pretty nice.

Donnie,
We use an 'iTalk' (iMic) with an iPod and we are happy with it. It is mobile
and can easily be used for recording in the field. It records directly into
the iPod and these files can be readily used.
We also use the Edirol Digital Recorders.

I got a few Marantz recorders, pmd660. These are about $500 each. They
are extremely popular, thanks to being so easy to use. However, an
instructor who wanted to take one to South America and had to settle for
some kind of ipod recorder said that once she got used to that it worked
fine.
