I've used a java recording applet called ListenUp (http://www.javasonics.com/)  
to build a system for students to submit voice recordings to instructors.  The  
recording is browser based and very easy to use and is extremely flexible and  
customizable.  The key is that faculty can open the students' submissions and  
record (insert) comments and corrections very easily without recording over the  
original file.  In the end the student can listen to their voice recording with  
the recorded feedback built in.  It's all very easy for the end users and pretty  
reliable.  The recorder can be presented along with prompts (video, audio, images,  
text...) and the assessment recorder can be presented with a rubric or form for  
entering written comments as well as the recorded comments.

ListenUp is not free, but it is very inexpensive for educational institutions.  
  I've developed the backend in PHP/MySQL to work with our Blackboard installation.

If anyone is interested in seeing how it works please drop me a line.
