The article examines the role of digital teaching technologies in enhancing student engagement in higher education. Drawing on contemporary pedagogical and methodological approaches, the study analyzes how digital tools - such as learning management systems, multimedia resources, and online collaborative platforms - contribute to more interactive and student-centered learning environments. International research highlights that student engagement is a key predictor of academic success and retention, particularly in the context of rapidly evolving educational technologies. In Azerbaijan, higher education institutions have increasingly integrated digital tools into teaching practices, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the effectiveness of these technologies depends on their pedagogical integration rather than their mere availability. The article argues that digital teaching technologies can significantly enhance cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement when aligned with clear learning objectives and appropriate instructional design. At the same time, challenges related to digital competence, methodological preparedness, and institutional support remain. The study concludes that the strategic use of digital technologies represents an important pathway for improving teaching quality and student engagement in higher education.
