The article discusses issues related to the possibility of introducing mass open online courses (МООС) in the educational process of first-year full-time students majoring in technical directions. The results of the analysis of the experience of using MOOС in the educational process of Russian universities with identified advantages and disadvantages are presented. MOOC-technology is presented as an element of connectivism theory. The author conducted a study with the purpose to study the readiness of students to learn using MOOCs. The results of the study allow to conclude that the modern first-year student has an insufficient level of motivation, independence, responsibility, self-discipline and self-control for the effective use of МООС in the educational process, but they are quite productive in mastering the material of the discipline in a combined form.
