Abstract
This work aims to describe the design and implementation of an architecture for hybrid labs focused in the integration of remote and hands-on laboratories. The research was conducted following four different steps and based on applied procedures. The first step describes a systematic and exploratory literature review, in which the results were used as the basis for this work following by applied procedures for the next two steps. For the evaluation of the architecture, was adopted a hypothetical-deductive methodology that brings an analysis of two different learning scenarios. The application was designed to support two different interaction formats - following a generic-based and project-based use. These formats were designed in order to interact on the collaborative learning environment application adopting the concept of mobile laboratories. The findings revealed that the application might be addressed in different approaches adopting different learning methodologies, being the solution developed able to be used in consonance with hands-on and remote activities.
