Nowadays the amount of information available on the Internet is immense and so the importance and quality of that information is questioned. Even though the amounts of available information are vast, sometimes the information useful for a specific purpose are limited. The present paper describes the development of a project in a Computer Engineering course based on this reality. The main goal to achieve is the implementation of an educational system to improve the interface between students and tutors, as well as to serve as a mean of communicating and spreading events related to computing to all members of the academic community where it is installed. The system was first built and implemented in one educational Institution but it is now improved based on the collaboration of teaching staff, of two different Portuguese institutions, with experience in teaching, allied to computer Engineering students skills and motivation. The architecture and the main features allowed by the developed system are reported through the several sections of this paper.
