Hybrid teaching (face-to-face and distance learning) enables students to better prepare and complete their courses. In science, technology, engineering and mathematics, it is important that practical training be an integral part of the curriculum. Laborem project developed at the technological university institute in Bayonne, France, enables undergraduate students to carry out part of their lab experiments in electronics remotely. Started in 2011, Laborem platform was based on proprietary solutions. Since 2017, the platform has migrated to open source software (PyScada) and open source interface box (Laborem Box), which was developed in order to enable the connection of several circuit boards to be studied. These boards, called plugs, are easily interchangeable and enable teachers to quickly adapt the proposed circuits to their course. The software also provides a simple front panel to adapt the human machine interface that is available for students. Laborem Box consists of a 3D printable box, a power supply board, a set of plugs, and a motherboard that enables students to study the selected plug. In addition, a single board computer is embedded and a hard disk can be used if necessary. This paper is intended to describe the hardware and software design of Laborem platform, and to serve as a guide to explain how to duplicate and deploy this system, primarily dedicated to undergraduate students for learning basic electronics.
混合式教学（面对面教学和远程学习）能让学生更好地准备和完成课程。在科学、技术、工程和数学领域，实践训练作为课程的一个组成部分非常重要。法国巴约讷技术大学研究所开发的Laborem项目，能让本科生远程开展部分电子学实验。Laborem平台始于2011年，基于专有解决方案。自2017年起，该平台已迁移至开源软件（PyScada）和开源接口盒（Laborem Box），开发Laborem Box是为了能连接多个待研究的电路板。这些电路板称为插头，易于互换，能让教师快速调整所提供的电路以适应其课程。该软件还提供一个简单的前面板来适配供学生使用的人机界面。Laborem Box由一个3D可打印盒、一块电源板、一组插头以及一块能让学生研究所选插头的主板组成。此外，还嵌入了一台单板计算机，必要时可使用硬盘。本文旨在描述Laborem平台的硬件和软件设计，并作为指南解释如何复制和部署该系统，该系统主要供本科生学习基础电子学使用。
