Abstract (EN): The EFTWeb results from research efforts concerning the lack of integrated solutions to reuse the contents generated ongoing by teachers and students from each discipline. EFTWeb supports Education, Learning and Training, taking advantage of existent Web facilities. In the proposed system, teachers and students are treated as clients. These clients can choose a profile, use credits they have acquired, and be certified as content producers. EFTWeb has several integrated services: webmail, chat, recommender system, and document sharing. A browser interfaces these services as well as the access to on-line information for both presence and distance learning. Supported by EFTWeb facilities the authors defend content organisation and access as a service centre to support education, learning and training taking advantage of existing contexts to satisfy needs and support normal activity of both teachers and students.
