A few possibilities:

Wink, http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ will do screen recording and export 
as flash; is I think freeware for windows and linux rather than GPL

Audacity, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/, is the way to record audio 
commentaries, so one can podcast ones lessons, (which as well as 
e-learning have, in my case at least, potential in the insomnia cures 
market...)

SmartNotebook allows you to record text written on a (proprietary) 
interactive whiteboard, this is /not/ GPL, but will run under Linux
