ICTs were crucial to keep the students in educational programs during the outbreak; however, some students were left out, increasing socioeconomic differences, and many teachers needed the training to provide online lectures effectively. Despite those barriers, the current context could be an opportunity to invest in new teaching and learning practices. The main goal of this research is to analyze how teachers and students from veterinary programs in Portugal adapted to the digital environment, and perceive whether this change imposed by COVID-19 could provide teachers and higher institutions with new solutions to implement effective student-centered and ICT-enabled learning models. Results show that veterinary programs are based on student-centered practices by nature, but that the use of ICTs is still incipient. Teachers, students, and members from the Professional Order claim that the worst change brought by COVID-19 was the cancellation of hands-on sessions, impoverishing the students\u2019 education during the time of mandatory confinement. Actors say that it is important to invest in innovative teaching and learning practices enabled by ICTs in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/educsci10110343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]],"date-time":"2020-11-23T01:28:48Z","timestamp":1606094928000},"page":"343","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Student-Centered and ICT-Enabled Learning Models in Veterinarian Programs: What Changed with COVID-19?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4915-4310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lisbon, CIES\/Iscte, 1649-026 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4173-9309","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Capucha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Lisbon, CIES\/Iscte, 1649-026 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hargreaves, A., Liberman, A., Fullan, M., and Hopkins, D.
