[DG: Teaching & Learning] Job: Instructional Technology Position Open at Pepperdine University

[Regan, Alan]

I hope it's not inappropriate to post an open instructional technology position on the Sakai Pedagogy listserv. Since Pepperdine is piloting Sakai 2.6, I thought it would be appropriate.  My apologies in advance if this isn't the correct avenue for this type of posting.
