Through its raise of use, the Internet became a strong allied to the teaching due to its reach power and practicality. In that way, this paper unites some of the processes management and memory management politics in operating systems found at the literature and introduce the TBC-SO/WEB, educational software which aims to contribute to teaching of the found politics. This software uses animated graphic resources with interface to the Web, applying the Java SE (Standard Edition) technology to provide the software use for anybody who has a computer with Internet access and the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed. In special, the TBCSO/ WEB tries to contribute to teaching quality of the ‘Operating Systems’ discipline and other ones that study the same subject.
