In addition, digital feedback and collaboration in learning to write have also proven to be important. Qualitative analysis shows that the use of digital platforms has a positive impact on students' writing skills, including increasing productivity, writing quality, and active participation in learning. Based on these findings, the research emphasizes the importance of educational strategies and policies that support the comprehensive integration of digital technology to achieve more effective and efficient higher education in the future.
