To identify the key competency areas, skills and behaviours presented within current literature were analyzed. Secondly, gaps were identified and levels of competence were determined within each key competency area. The resulting analysis produced the Online Teaching Competency (OTC) Matrix including five competency areas: Community & Netiquette, Active Teaching/Facilitating, Instructional Design, Tools & Technology, and Leadership & Instruction. This leveled competency matrix can be used to inform professional development in the online teaching environment and is also a useful guide in the areas of selfassessment, portfolio design, and the development and evaluation of professional development opportunities.  \nRésumé  \nCette étude a comme objectifs de cerner les principaux domaines de compétences quimènent à la réussite de l’instruction en ligne et de développer un cadre qui soutient ledéveloppement professionnel et l’autoévaluation. Afin de cerner les principaux domaines decompétences, une analyse des aptitudes et comportements présentés dans les études actuelles a été réalisée. Deuxièmement, les écueils ont été cernés et les niveaux de compétence ont été déterminés au sein de chaque domaine de compétences. L’analyse qui en a résulté a généré lamatrice des compétences de l’enseignement en ligne, comprenant cinq domaines de compétences: collectivité et nétiquette, enseignement actif/animation active, conception de l’instruction, outils et technologie, ainsi que leadership et instruction. Cette matrice graduée peut servir à façonner le développement professionnel dans un environnement d’enseignement en ligne. Elle sert aussi de guide pratique pour les domaines de l’auto-évaluation, de la conception de portfolio et du développement et de l’évaluation des occasions de développement professionnel.  \nIntroduction  \nThe purpose of this study is to review the existing literature on online teaching competencies, in order to derive a framework to guide faculty development for teaching in the online environment. There has been a rapid migration to online learning in recent decades, including the evolution of several modes of e-delivery, varying from blended learning formats to Massive Open Online Courses (Hill, 2012; Staker & Horn 2012) . Technology adoption appears to be accelerating within industry as well as in academia (Dahlstrom & Bichsel, 2014; TNS Global, 2012). As a result, it has become increasingly necessary for faculty to put extra effort into professional development to keep up-to-date (Thomas, 2014) . Internationally, institutions seek to determine best-practices and models that prepare new and existing faculty for teaching and facilitating in the digital environment (Stoltz-Loike, 2013; Thomas, 2014) . The first task in reaching the goal of better prepared faculty is to define the features of a highly proficient online teacher. Competencies may provide a framework from which professional development can be developed and assessed (Carraccio, Wolfsthal, Englander, Ferentz, & Martin, 2002; Hoffman, 1999) .  \nCompetencies  \nCompetency-based education (CBE) and assessment is not a new concept in teacher training and development. In the 1920s the Commonwealth Teacher-Training Study was conducted in the United States, in order to identify the activities and traits of a successful teacher. The goal of the study was to identify the specific duties teachers in training would be required to perform upon entry into the workforce, therefore providing a foundation for teacher education (Charters & Waples, 1929).
