    Open Jobs in the VSNS.

     Currently, interested volunteers to work on administrative software are sought. This includes: registration, evaluation, course feedback, all based on available WWW technology. GNA's Autocrat is a project you might like to participate in.

    Also, if you happen to know about an institution who would like to get in contact with us to proliferate online teaching, please e-mail.
