Further analysis revealed 22 crucial competencies requiring development. These top priorities included, the ability to produce and utilize online learning materials with appropriate copyright adherence, designing creative and tailored learning experiences, adeptness in employing innovative teaching methods to accommodate diverse learner needs, proficiency in managing innovative learning tools and the ability to persuade organizational personnel to see the common goal.
