We did a pilot study of a novel internet-based system and its potential application in education. The target are university students whose study field is largely based on encyclopedical knowledge. We attempted to answer a question, whether the proposed system can be a sustainable educational tool benefiting all involved subjects, i.e. students, senior experts and public. We observed the effect of various extrinsic motivational factors: we focused primarily on how is the students' motivation influenced by minor financial reward. The results after 22 weeks of monitoring suggest the proposed system can be a sustainable tool for students' education and involvement in solving real problems. However, it was difficult to make a conclusion about the influence of motivation factors, a longer monitoring is needed.
