A short description of the main learning theories is made and describes in greater detail the characteristics of constructivist learning environments. A castle-top model as a template for programming activities and contents is proposed, which, when used in conjunction with educational technologies to take care of explicit knowledge, the face to face activities are optimize, allowing more time for the transfer of tacit knowledge. Base in the proposal made by Lundberg, six considerations for the design of organizational culture courses are discussed and recommendations are made to give a constructivist orientation courses.
