Development of remote laboratories in academic settings has been held back because the lack standardization technology, processes, operation and their integration with formal educational environments. Remote are used for a variety reasons, instance, when equipment is not available physical laboratory; laboratory space sufficient to, either, set up experiments or permit access to all on-site students course; teacher needs provide online experiences taking courses via distance education. Centers have forming platforms that grant collection alternatives institutions reduce budgets only purchases but also other expenses, such as, people, space, maintenance, electricity consumption. This paper offers taxonomy examples types hybrid combinations, proposes Unified Modeling Language (UML) models incorporating collaborative user roles context support synchronous asynchronous formats learning The need development adaptive interfaces based on difficulty level demonstrated knowledge presented. Finally, scheme virtualization infrastructure an assisted where part experience carried out by (student) system (teacher avatar) able act as team mate during experimentation process.
