Abstract
The article focuses the reader’s attention on the fact that one of the ways to solve the problem of high-quality teaching of IT disciplines in Russian universities is to use the potential of mass open online courses (MOOCS) developed by the world’s leading universities and companies. The article considers a «hybrid» educational model based on the integration of MOOCS into the educational process. The model is based on the solution of three practical problems: the development of matrices of compliance available MOOCS competencies of Federal standards and academic disciplines; synchronization MOOCS with the educational process; as well as the transformation of the roles of the teaching staff, including their participation in the facilitation and moderation of online courses by students, as well as knowledge control.
