Hello Doug,
Check out Mediasite. It is a video platform we use at UNM Interactive
Television (ITV) for distance education.

San Juan College uses Angel with great success-- and several of the new
programs are using "micro lectures"--short, stripped down lectures
accompanied by intensive, rigorous, learning-driven assignments. See the
article and a sample at the Chronicle for March 6:

Apple's Garageband (either comes with the Mac OS or with iLife - can't
remember which) is handy for creating multi-media podcasts that can
then be folded into an online distance learning program (CNM and I
believe UNM both use ye old standby WebCT - now Blackboard as their
basic platform). Easy to use and cheap or free for Mac people.
Downside - not available for PC.
