Hi, Susan,
You might consider the free services provided at odeo.com
For the German Online courses here at PSU, we have each instructor
set up a single Odeo account, with a podcast for each week of the course. The
students are given the password and log-in info for the account and record
their weekly speaking assignments using the very simple recording interface
provided in the Odeo Studio. After recording, they can then place their audio
file into the weekly podcast. The instructors listen to the audio files via the
Odeo site or by subscribing to the podcasts via iTunes and then listening to
the audio on a portable mp3 player.
Using Odeo means that the
instructors do not need to open multiple emails and attachments. They also have
the option to listen and grade during the daily commute or while walking to and
from classes, if they download the weekly podcast to a mp3 player.

Faculty want students to record their assignments on the computer and then email them. Most programs save to WAV but that's too big. We need a really simple program-sort of like recording on to a cassette tape-the students can use, save as MP3, then attach to an email.
