Abstract: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, higher education institutions all over the world have been faced with the urgent need for going online. Still, higher education institutions in Ukraine have met this new challenge with significant gaps in online education expertise. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the major challenges that have become relevant to Ukrainian agricultural universities in the pandemic period. In particular, we tried to evaluate the main areas where the major interventions have been carried out, such as providing access to relevant ICT infrastructure, methodological support and training of academic staff etc. The results of the case study support the conclusion that the rapid shift to remote learning has the potential to be the impetus for radical decisions in the context of implementation of pedagogical innovations and digital tools in agricultural higher education.
