While online recorders will never give you the quality or editing capabilities of dedicated tools like Audacity, or Dartmouth's excellent two-track DL Recorder, they do make management and access so much easier (assuming an internet connection). Besides all the excellent commercial options, there's CLEAR's diverse array of media options in Rich Internet Applications (http://clear.msu.edu/teaching/online/ria/ ), and our own, more course-oriented set of speech tools in ANVILL (http://anvill.uoregon.edu ). Ideally, teachers should be able to use both approaches, opting for one or the other depending on the task.
