Abstract
This work outlines the problem of laying the groundwork for building a suitable online training methodology. In the first place, it points out that most E-learning ini-tiatives are developed without a defined method or an appropriate strategy. It then critically analyzes the role of the constructivist model in relation to this problem, af-firming that this explanatory framework is not a method and describing the problems this confusion gives rise to. Finally, it proposes a theoretical and epistemological framework of reference for building this methodology based on Greek paideía. The authors propose that the search for a reference model such as the one developed in ancient Greece will allow us to develop a method based on the importance of a teach-ing profile ¿different¿ from traditional academic roles and which we call ¿tutor¿. It has many similarities to the figures in charge of monitoring learning both in Homeric epic and Classical Greece.
