The article deals with the problem of influence of information and communication
technologies on the higher education development. The peculiarities and dynamics of the MOOC
expansion in the international educational space are determined, the experience of MOOC usage in
the conditions of transnational education has been analysed, and the MOOC functions in Ukrainian
educational reality have been investigated. The following methods were used in research: content
analysis of scientific literature to clarify the essence of the research main categories; online
courses netnography for studying their specifics; questionnaire, statistical processing and graphical
representation of the study results concerning the MOOC functions in domestic educational
practices. The essence of the term “MOOC” is clarified, the concept of their construction as well
as features of technological functioning is revealed. The history of MOOC development in foreign
countries (USA, Australia, Japan, Europe) and Ukraine is analysed. MOOC emergence and
expansion is associated with digital humanities development and digital humanistic pedagogy
establishment in the international educational space. The research results, which define the MOOC
functions in the Ukraine educational practices, namely, ensuring openness, enriching the content
of learning, individualization and inter-activation are characterized. Five main problems of the
MOOC implementation are highlighted and investigated: 1) the presence of two different MOOC
types; 2) the role of a teacher in MOOC; 3) participation of students in MOOC; 4) understanding
and usage of the “mass” character of MOOC; 5) the boundary between the MOOC openness and
control over them. Unprecedented popularity and opportunities for reaching the student audience
have prompted international organizations and their education departments to initiate global
forums to discuss the urgent economic, social, technological, psychological and pedagogical issues
that arose during the MOOC introduction, as well as to adopt regulatory documents to ensure the
quality of MOOC provision.
