Abstract: This case study provides an exploratory analysis of the Faculty Learning Community (FLC) aimed at encouraging and supporting sharing of teaching experiences among faculty members at Universitas 21 Global (U21G). The analysis reveals a community in the formative stages of evolutionary development. The preliminary results indicate a prevailing pattern of knowledge sharing characterised by low intensity, variable member participation and selective topical focus. The results also point to a number of possible reasons for the exhibited behaviour including FLC's academic environment, instrumental nature of the community and its majority adjunct faculty membership. Further directions for practical actions are recommended that may help FLC to grow and mature and future research that may help to demystify contemporary learning communities.
