Hence, competent e-Instructors are key to successful e-Learning implementations and they should have the appropriate skills and experience for the effective implementation of e-Learning and blended learning. eInstructors are instructors who might well be very experienced in teaching-learning contexts and even possess a high level of technology literacy. However, being an experienced instructor and possessing advanced skills of using technology does not necessarily lead to an instructor becoming an effective e-instructor. The purpose of this article is to understand which competencies are needed to be an effective e-Instructor and how can we help individuals to acquire these skills? In order to answer these questions, a broad literature review will help understand what the accepted competencies are for e-Instructors, any existing strategies for professional development, possible challenges to this process and any known solutions. On-going professional development is essential for being a role model for learners and for effective usage of technological environments. Based on the facts and research results in parallel with the advancement in the technological world as instructors, they should keep themselves up-to-date according to e-competencies defined for instructors and continue searching to make this process easier for both instructors and learners to become more effective. Consequently, future research studies can focus on the strategies and methods for self-determined, self-paced and personalised instruction to cope with the e-instructor competencies.  \nKeywords: e-competency; e-instructor; e-instructor certification; e-instructor competency  \nIntroduction  \ne-Learning is becoming more popular than ever with the advent of new technologies and new inventions for teaching and learning, especially in the case of higher education in e-Learning and blended learning. Hence, competent e-Instructors are key to successful e-Learning implementations and they should have the appropriate skills and experience for the effective implementation of e-Learning and Blended Learning. In general, every instructor first becomesan Instructor then becomes an e-Instructor. Being a good e-Instructor means possessing more knowledge and skills about instructional technologies and even positive attitudes towards technological tools and processes. Thus, e-Instructors should be using information and communication technologies (ICT) effectively in all the phases of teaching, facilitating and assessing learner work. Although many instructors are highly qualified teachers with many  \nyears of experience, they acquire these valuable skills and experience based on their various instructional implementations with different groups, content and methods.  \nThe question here is whether or not they have to be successful in adapting the use of different instructional technologies into their teaching-learning processes. At first sight, it seems that being technology-literate may solve this problem however; it is not just the involvement of technology in educational contexts, it is the transformation of what is already known from face-to-face environments into virtual settings, combined with effective technology use and virtual experience. This process could be quite easy for technology-literate instructors, but what about those who are not technologically-literate? What could be done for these instructors to help them become experienced virtual instructors? The purpose of this paper is to understand which competencies are needed to be an effective e-Instructor and how can we help individuals to acquire these skills?  \nIn order to answer these questions, a b","cbCainLXULm9OscC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainLXULm9OscC","pdf",565482,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# What Are Competencies?
