As a student:
The Quickcam Pro can do audio and video well at the same time.
It offers "acceptable" playback resolution. Good for students, $100. for the camera, and there are plenty of goodies to work with it.
As an instructor/teacher:
For a DVD-quality result I would mic the room in stereo and pass-thru the A/V from a real camcorder (HI-8/DV) to a DVD-R unit. * Most laptops will not produce this high quality w/o a docking station and additional hardware.
If it's only audio, many laptops have sufficient microphones.
If you want to record notes, seminars, mileage, etc...
"Things on the go w/ the lapop" - I recommend the Olympus DM's.

Hi guys,
Has anyone used software on their laptop that allows it to record hours of
audio in a classroom setting?
What software did you use? How well did it work out? How was the sound
quality when played back?
I was thinking about buying a Digital Voice Recorded when it suddenly
occurred to me that if I have the right software, my laptop could be my DVR.
Also, can someone recommend a good low cost mic?
Also, if I find software that does this sort of thing, how much will it
matter where the mic is relative to the speaker? For good results, do I
need to be in the front row?
Thanks. I know this is way OT but I also know that there must be a few
people on GS that have experience with this.
Tim
