Abstract
In this paper we present a distributed client-server architecture which integrates hypertext tools with laboratory, evaluation, and communication tools, as a support for learning. A part of the architecture has been implemented and tested with undergraduate students. The preliminary results are encouraging and an extension of the system is planned with other communication tools such as bulletin board, blackboards, voice and images.
