          "Advance in e-education infrastructure" makes sense when advance in the e-education superstructure, which is the e-educator, meets it.
          "E-education" we subject here is : (1) web-based and asynchronous, (2) system for nurturing/raising/training, rather than providing knowledge, (3) enriched education, rather than substitute for attending school, and such that we introduce as solution for (4) complement of onsite education, problem-solving-type education, or self-teaching system.
          The e-education of this sense scarcely goes with "division of labor". The e-educator is to enter, more or less, all levels of e-education - from academic specialty to IT-literacy.
          We can characterize this type of faculty integration (process) as "information design". In particular, the e-educator-faculty development is mostly characterized as "information-designer-faculty development".
