The new educational context defined by the European Space for Higher Education (ESHE) encourages the student’s autonomous work, that requires new tools for enhancing the information access. In this paper we present iCollege, an educational platform that is able to recover relevant information from international breaking news and present it classified; easing the burden of students’ and lecturers’ work. Furthermore, it promotes the student reading habit in other languages, facilitates the integration of foreign visiting students and shows the different viewpoints that the international press media publishes about a topic. Due to the integration with the Content Management System it encourages the students’ collaborative work while helping the supervision and grading for the lecturers.
