Bowen Institute of Technology

Welcome to the Bowen Institute of Technology. This site is the home base for an early stage start-up. The development team at BIT follow Agile and Lean development practices and our first task is to pursue a number of ideas and through there development determine which idea provides the greatest opportunity for success. This also means we need your involvement, so please consider the following ideas and if you would like to express support or ask questions, please do. The current list of ideas has now been ordered by priority;
  1. Crowd Sourcing Assessment - best way to learn is to be the teacher AND build the assessment instrument(s).
  2. Legal Education for the Adult Public - an educated public is an effective public and that saves us all money.
  3. ERP 4 OER (or moving education toward EaaS) - there is a growing need for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) services focused on Educational Institutions providing Open Learning and Open Educational Resources (OER).
  4. Content Level Single Sign-On - the ability to integrate access between the authorization authority and the specific item of content is needed for adult learners wanting access to a single item of for-pay content. They want this access at a greatly reduced price for it is a single item.
  5. Learning Platform for People - communities need to capture their learning and stories; implementing the ideas from CKMS4D.
Note: the list started as just some gathered ideas, and subsequently we spoke to people who were potential customers / users / stakeholders of any of these ideas and the list has now become sorted by priority as to which idea gets greater attention. Keep in mind the top three ideas remain in play and the list may become re-ordered when engaged customers / users refocus the attention. This is the lean way...
