I do not think there are any software programs for ASL out
there, especially ones that also work with other languages.

I would suggest that they install web-cams or some other video
camera to each computer, so students can record themselves
signing. This is useful for self-assessment and
teacher-assessment. If there is a student network drive, then
they can chronicle their advancement with regular taping.

As far as watching ASL on the computer, students can use
www.ASLPRO.com, or any of the other online dictionaries and
wwww.ASL.ms for fingerspelling. There are of course pay sites
for ASL instruction, such as www.asldeafined.com, but if you
already have a curriculum, you should be able to just use the
textbook's video.

Also, if you have access to youtube through your lab, you could
assign any number of ASL vlogs, videos, etc for your students
to watch. (with teacher approval, of course!)

very jealous of your language lab. :) Good luck!
