Wesley - Our company released a suite of tools several years ago that provides the same call-in to listen/call-in to record features as well as provides audio/IVR=based assessments. Site access is by dedicated phone number(s) and fully branded to each organization. We even provide support for call-out content where the CellCast platform calls each registered user at a pre-determined time to push a podcast assignment to them. All interactions are tracked and all answers recorded into the DB including the ability to capture recorded answers to open-ended or essay questions and optionally transcribe these into searchable text. Finally, all results are pushed back into an LMS or similar back office platform. Of course, all of these features come at a price rather than free as this is part of a larger mobile learning offering designed to support corporates, higher ed/continuing ed or other mobile communications applications.

How does the Phonecasting service stack up against Gabcast and Gcast in terms of features and functionality, Liz? Thanks for sharing this link. I'll pass it along at our Oklahoma state edtech conference next week in a session I'm prepping called "Cool Digital Magic Tricks."

Do you know of any other sites besides these three which permit people to use their cell phones to directly record to the web?
