Audio tapes work fine for a while but over time they may become inaudible due to static or other complications. I believe digital is the way to go. If funds allow, I would suggest taking a look at software such as Divace from Tandberg Educational. It is a versatile piece of software which allows students to record stuff/playback. They can save their files in different formats (wav, mp3 etc). It's interface is really user-friendly and it somewhat resembles any traditional tape recorder. I hope this helps.
