Communities of practice are groups of people interested in topics and activities that require specialized skills, resources and knowledge. These are obtained through communications and the exchange of information. The research objective focuses on describing common characteristics between communities of practice and information systems, as both are sensitive constructs capable of reacting to the environment. This is based on information and learning needs within specific practices. This method involves a conceptual level from systems theory to interpret communities of practice as information systems. According to the results, within the academic context, communities of practice function as social networks. They consist of individuals who interact during various events and social occasions, always within an academic framework.
