Abstract	Purpose: This study aims to reflect on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on education and draw some tentative assumptions from the information and experiences gathered from participants in this community about their possible impact on the future of education. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a single-case descriptive case study that analyses some indicators of changes in teaching and learning that have taken place to date in the pandemic period as seen from Docentes en línea, a virtual community of practice of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina. Findings: A number of shortcomings in the educational system, technological infrastructure and teacher formation in many of our members' countries. Concurrently, rising interest in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education and a new awareness of possible changes. Research limitations/implications: Part of the data comes from informal sources; therefore, they cannot be completely systematised or quantified. Besides, the results are provisional because the pandemic has not ended. Originality/value: This analysis was conducted on the basis of first-hand data collected in the activity developed by the members of this virtual community of practice. There is little research on this type of activity at the moment. (As Provided).
