Pedagogical innovations abound at the university level during a pandemic. The study aimed to investigate the pedagogical innovations during a pandemic at the university level in Pakistan. The study also aimed to find out problems teachers faced while adapting pedagogical innovations. The study will be helpful for all educationists and practitioners. The mixed study attracted the participation of faculty from 10 public sector universities of Punjab (Pakistan). The population of the study were 700 teachers. 248 teachers were selected randomly as a sample by L. R. Gay Table. The questionnaires were distributed online. Quantitative data were analyzed through percentage and qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that teachers used videos, and shared the screen with students to clear their concepts. There are a lot of pedagogical innovations which teachers adopted during a pandemic. It includes flipped classrooms, audiobooks, social media for collaborative learning, and simulation games. The results suggest that teachers faced problems with innovations at the beginning of the pandemic because they were not prepared for the situation and they faced problems in using and implementing educational technology. It is recommended that there may be some software and strategies for teaching in a crisis because these uncertainties can happen again.
