When implemented, this will revolutionize the collective growth of students all across the globe. Learning should be interactive, different and entertaining. "IIBIT!" seeks to break cultural diversity and school curriculum rigidity in order to create a fresh approach to educational development.

This is a joint proposal from the RSA Digital Engagement Working Group (RSAde) and Lancaster University Management School and Computing Department. Our objective is to provide a simple user-friendly educational browser for older people who have no or very little prior experience of using a computer or smartphone. It will provide a built-in tutorial and online guide. The browser will provide simple instructions that are very easy to navigate for a PC novice. It could be either a website that would act as the PC homepage or an app that runs on a smartphone on a tablet PC such as iPad or ePad running the Android operating system. The tutorial navigation would be included in a permanent position of the screen with a clear route to return to the start if someone loses their way.
