The teaching and learning process is facing many unprecedented challenges that require innovative solutions in the short life of knowledge and the abrupt development of technology. Some of these challenges are the new roles of teachers who are the main constituents in the online teaching process. The main aim of this study revolved around determining and analyzing university students' priorities concerning the competency categorization and roles of online teachers. The research was based on Moodle and Google classroom to validate the competency elements with the final aim of improving teaching and learning processes. The data were collected by using an online questionnaire that evaluated eight dimensions of competencies and roles of online teachers. The research sample consisted of 430 participants (aged between 19 and 30) from Iraq and Oman. The results obtained from these two countries were very similar as the respondents highlighted professional, pedagogical and social competencies in their teachers. It further shows that though the applications used in the two contexts were different (Google classroom with Google Meet or Moodle), it did not affect the final results gained. The results of this survey could be important for further analysis of online teaching practice and bring several important insights regarding the possibilities of online teaching.
教学过程正面临着许多前所未有的挑战，这些挑战需要在知识的短暂生命周期和技术的迅猛发展中找到创新的解决方案。其中一些挑战涉及教师的新角色，而教师是在线教学过程的主要组成部分。本研究的主要目的是确定并分析大学生对于在线教师的能力分类和角色的优先关注点。该研究以Moodle和谷歌课堂为基础，以验证能力要素，最终目的是改善教学过程。数据通过一份在线问卷收集，该问卷评估了在线教师能力和角色的八个维度。研究样本包括来自伊拉克和阿曼的430名参与者（年龄在19岁至30岁之间）。这两个国家的研究结果非常相似，因为受访者强调了他们对教师专业、教学和社交能力的重视。研究还进一步表明，尽管两国使用的应用程序不同（谷歌课堂搭配谷歌Meet或Moodle），但这并未影响最终获得的结果。这项调查的结果对于进一步分析在线教学实践可能具有重要意义，并能为在线教学的可能性带来一些重要见解。
