As a part of the research project ““Evaluation and Prospective of Communication Strategies of the Faculty of Administrative and Financial Sciences at the University of La Salle, Bogota”, this article systematize the experiences of educational and communicative nature that the researchers have been developing in order to face the dichotomous tension between theory and practice, knowledge generation- physic spaces, companies- academy, characteristic of the historical development of Latin American universities, through the use of physical and virtual collaborative spaces to supplement classroom work. The Learning environments are mechanisms of interaction between individuals, outside the classroom, that generate learning. To that end, the article exposes how this tension was developed in the heart of the history of the university and the administrative and accounting sciences, explains the theory of collaborative spaces from the perspective of constructivism and describes the collaborative spaces that teachers have developed, waiting that this example will serve as inspiration for other teachers of the field.
