     The trend of BYOD(Bring Your Own Device)is expanding progressively. However, users bring various types of devices. Therefore, we built a Virtual Computer Classroom(VCCr). A user can use a VCCr by accessing to the remote desktop through a HTML5-compliant Web browser. In this paper, we describe the design and to provide a VCCr. In our design, we solved characteristic problems to use virtual computer classrooms.

     In the e-Learning development process in a corporation among Universities,we referred agile development process as a way of sharing the quality assurance framework and procedure. We selected Scrum method in Agile process and used it to review the working process. As a result,there were several points we covered to accomplish the project goal. The training placed as a Sprint Review was successfully implemented and participants mostly accepted our proposed approach and products and they provided essential ideas to proceed the project.

     The Akita Rehabilitation College (ARC),established in 2015 with a four-year training course of Physical Therapist,tried to set up LAN in ARC introducing ICT. ARC lets every student have their own tablet stored with the electronic books and documents,i.e.,the computerized contents of textbooks,a medical dictionary,reference books and documents of classes. Each tablet is also equipped with a wireless LAN system for communication among teaching staff,students,office staff and the library. The purpose was to reduce the large consumption and expense burden of paper resources from the ecological and economic standpoint; and for students to avoid carrying their heavy textbooks and dictionaries to the outside facilities like hospitals and nursing homes for the practical clinical-training. Also,they can become proficient using IT equipment like a tablet. The LAN system was comprised of a main server with NAS (6TB) connected to an optical fiber (6.5-173.4 Mbps),a layer3 switch,5 wireless access points,60 note PCs,and 120 tablets. The teaching staff,students,and office staff each have a user account with restricted access and password system for security. The LAN system worked well although sometimes freezing when over 100 students in ARC simultaneously accessed the LAN in order to download some documents.

     Although the content of what is learned in higher education in the field of intellectual property education has become more sophisticated, what is required is sound knowledge and academic ability. In this study, with quality assurance of the learning content related to intellectual property as our aim, we carried out flipped teaching using Moodle, and tried to clarify the learning outcome using quantitative analysis. Furthermore, we also verified the students' characteristics based on the qualitative analysis. We had the students register the “video teaching materials”, which were the learning contents, and the corresponding “pre-assignments”in Moodle in advance, and tried to improve their understanding and knowledge retention of the intellectual property-related learning content. In order to clarify how these learning formats(prior learning, including watching video teaching materials, etc.)influence the learner's knowledge retention relating to intellectual property, comparisons were carried out of the students' learning situations and test scores. As a result, it was suggested that assigning video viewing and pre-assignments contributes to the retention of knowledge.
