It has been a while since I worked with Blackboard, and so I cannot speak directly to their functionalities when integrated fully with Blackboard but we are using Wimba Classroom with our current LMS (Desire2Learn) because although we still have Wimba Voice Tools, Voice Chat isn't a tool that is available with our LMS. We create multiple sessions, and give students the right to archive, and this allows them a space to voice chat. It is a bit more robust than is needed for simple voice chat and so students need to be directed through how to do what they need to do (which once done is simple enough), but it also eliminates the need for the students to raise their hands to speak as they do in Wimba Voice Chat. Another option would be to look into video conferencing applications such as ooVoo to see if they would meet your needs. They don't integrate into the LMS, but students might be able to use them to do the work, and ooVoo (last I checked) has a recording option. Good luck!
