Developmental dysgraphia (DD) can negatively influence writing speed, legibility of written product, and even planning and content generation. This could have a detrimental impact on self-expression, and communication in childhood. The goal of this study is to investigate new intra-writer and self-esteem normalization methods (IWN) in direction of improving computerized DD assessment based on the quantitative analysis of online handwriting. For this purpose we enrolled 97 children who wrote a paragraph using a digitizing tablet. Their handwriting proficiency was rated by the Handwriting Proficiency Screening Questionnaire (HPSQ). The handwriting was parametrized using a conventional set of features that were consequently normalized by four newly designed IWN. Based on the results we observed that a stroke-level £2 norm normalization decreased the computerized DD assessment error from 23 % to 18 %. This study proves that the stroke-level IWN has the significant potential in the field of computerized DD diagnosis and assessment.

The development of a learning management system (LMS) as a key service seems to be very effective for creation of educational digital platforms. Such platforms for both higher education institutions and various companies can provide the opportunities for networked forms of educational communication, improve the quality of the perception of innovative technologies and support tools for progress of talented youth as well as knowledge transfer. An example of such LMS is presented. The paper focuses on the demand for further development of learning management systems, their integration with modern digital platforms and potential exploitation as key services of such platforms in the context of the current educational trends of Industry 4.0 and the global trend towards a transition to a digital economy. The implementation of artificial intelligence technologies into the educational process is mentioned as an innovative way to form IT-ecosystems of modern education.
