【 摘 要 】

During the last decades came up several epistemological and didactical models, and even many methods trying to explain how to improvelearning or how to better teach in online learning or eLearning situations. Thereal fact is that these theoretical frames, generally suitable a priori, showparadoxical results when they are applied within real situations. In many casesthese frameworks appear to be simply inoperative. The aim of this paper is toillustrate some defining characteristics of a networking learning community andto demonstrate how the Pythagorean School, whose origins date back to 2.500years, practiced such characteristics in the Ancient Greece and, consequently,they constitute a theoretical (an very up-to-date) model for building learningcommunities for eLearning situations.
