Growth and interestin the massive open online courses (MOOCs) hosted on cloud, as well as the large number of students with own device (BYOD) set a favorable scenario for a new model of cooperation and interaction for online education. In this paper we present the results of collaborative work in the cloud, using Google Apps services and MOOCs, in conducting laboratory reports for the subjects of chemistry, and based on this experience we propose an architecture for platforms e-learning and mechanisms for collaborative work in cloud applied to the laboratories. %K Collaboration %K Cloud %K Massive Open Online Courses %K Distance Education %K Bring Your Own Device %K Informática %K Computer science %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
