What I have done is interviewed various institutional technical specialists who provide support to language faculty and administrators. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss what points "non-technical" instructors and administrators should keep in mind when soliciting the assistance and working with institutional technical specialists -- including expectations, time-frame of projects, responsibilities and perspectives of both sides. I would be interested in hearing additional comments on this topic, if anyone should be thusly inspired. Thanks for your time and consideration.
