"If you have a Mac, iMovie will let you do voice overs. If you really want good quality audio it's best to do it separately from your video. You should use an external mike and make sure to place it far enough away that it does not catch sounds…"

"You could create the videos and burn them to a dvd.  That is my plan of attack for my non-Internet students, albeit I tend to run only a few kids per section without access."

"I am in the process of this.  Last year I started using iXL and this year plan on combining it with videos that students can access from home to free up some class time.  I have just (barely) started setting up my website for this.…"
