DIGITAL TOOLS THAT SUPPORT STUDENT WRITING IN HIGHER EDUCATION
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Higher Education, digital tools have become essential in supporting student writing development. Writing at the tertiary level requires not only mastery of academic conventions but also critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Traditional approaches to teaching writing are increasingly being supplemented and in some cases transformed by digital technologies that offer innovative, accessible, and personalized learning experiences. This article explores the role of digital tools in enhancing student writing skills, with particular emphasis on platforms such as grammar and style checkers (e.g., Grammarly), collaborative writing environments (e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft OneDrive), citation managers (e.g., Zotero, Mendeley), and AI-powered writing assistants. These tools provide students with immediate feedback, foster peer collaboration, and reduce the cognitive load associated with mechanical aspects of writing, allowing greater focus on content development and argumentation. Moreover, the use of digital platforms encourages self-directed learning, supports multilingual learners, and bridges gaps in academic writing proficiency across diverse student populations. However, the integration of such tools is not without challenges, including issues of over-reliance, ethical concerns, and unequal access to technology. By critically examining the affordances and limitations of digital writing support systems, this article highlights their potential to enhance academic success and cultivate transferable communication skills. Ultimately, digital tools, when used strategically and ethically, can empower students to become more confident, independent, and effective writers in higher education and beyond.

DIGITAL DIDACTIC MODEL FOR DEVELOPING PROGRAMMING COMPETENCE IN ENGINEERS WITHIN A DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
In the context of the digitalization of engineering education, there is an increasing need to develop didactic models that foster sustainable programming competence among students in technical fields. The aim of this study is to design and pilot a digital didactic model implemented on the ITTS platform, which ensures systematic development of algorithmic thinking, programming skills, and readiness for professional activity. The methodological framework of the model comprises four interrelated components: the target component (strategic objectives of engineering education), the organizational-methodological component (competence-based model, principles of systematization, integration, and practice orientation), the content component (ITTS digital platform, theoretical and practical elements, visual learning tools), and the diagnostic component (competence assessment through testing, project defense, and analysis of performance dynamics). The empirical validation of the model was conducted through a pedagogical experiment involving control and experimental groups. The collected data confirm a statistically significant improvement in academic performance, increased student engagement, and enhanced cognitive coherence. The main conclusion affirms the effectiveness of the proposed model, its reproducibility, and its potential for scaling across other engineering disciplines.
