In terms of e-learning skills, students ranked self-learning skills as highest. In the end, students demonstrated stronger teamwork and self-regulation as compared to content development and competitive skills. Overall, the results indicate that students tend to develop personal and self-directed learning skills more than social and creative skills, highlighting the need to enhance collaborative and innovative learning practices.
