Processes of digital transformation and implementation of innovative technologies in the higher education system have been actively taking place. Digital tools and platforms that contain various opportunities for organizing the educational process are actively applied: creation of electronic courses, interactive educational materials, test databases, tools for communication and interaction between students and teachers, monitoring academic performance. Among the key areas of innovation development in digital education, one can highlight the introduction of an individual learning path using artificial intelligence, mentoring in virtual reality, immersive learning, etc. Active use of innovative technologies and digital learning increases the share of independent types of work of students, reduces traditional forms of training and modifies the role of the teacher in the educational process. At the transformation stage, the key role belongs to the tools for assessing and monitoring the level and quality of assimilation of educational material by students. This work reveals a technology for identifying the risk of potential discrepancy in mastering an academic discipline.
