This article offers an opportunity to reflect on what Faculty Learning Communities (FLC) and Communities of Practice (CoP) are within university contexts, with particular attention to groups of scholars who meet regularly to reflect on their teaching practices. The purpose of this paper is to define what Faculty Learning Communities and Community of Practice are, to illustrate their origins and characteristics, to describe some examples of FLC and CoP, to outline their theoretical framework, to report the University of Genoa’s experience about some Communities of Practice launched in 2017. Finally, some tips for implementing a community of practice for faculty development will be described.
