Abstract (EN): The EFTWeb is a World Wide Web based system that allows the interaction between users and contents. The users can be students and teachers that place, modify and use available contents. The system provide the means to control security, intellectual property rights, and billing issues, giving both type of users the necessary tools to access the system, organise materials and use them. Although the core system relies in a database to store the system usage, it uses market concepts to support its operation, implementing client issues, security and credits as a reward currency. The paper describes the application and discusses the role that systems like this one can have in modifying the traditional skills relationship in education settings between teachers and students, both in their skills and roles.
