You can get 5 hours of video on an 8GB SD card (which is under $20) in LP mode. I would not rely on wireless connectivity or a computer-based system for this. Using a camera is pretty straightforward. When you're ready to watch the thing you can either plug it straight into a TV or pull the video file off the SD card.

Perhaps you can repackage the audio if that is the route you must go, and give it to her. Maybe you can offer to make the course a podcast, much like Itunes U or other collegiate classes that provide free audio of courses. Cleaning it up, adding an intro and end on it, and editing out unnecessary stuff may be a perfect gift for the prof to (brownie points anyone?)

Do you know if there's wireless in the classroom? Someone could ustream it and record the stream. Maybe the college can provide a recording solution. I think it's important for your story to get to the IT and eLearning people, so they are aware of your needs. If I had more student feedback, it would be much easier to make decisions. Do you need video? Would audio work? She may be willing to to record digital audio for you in exchange for you editing and publishing it for her. I see lots of options!
