Abstract

Various aspects of the use of MOOC TECHNOLOGY in modern full-time and part-time education are considered on the basis of the accumulated experience of creating, publishing and supporting five online courses in physics for students of different age and target groups. The actual variants of development of the system of online training in physics and mathematics courses are analyzed. Specific ways of solving problems caused by differences in Internet education and fundamental education are proposed. New approaches to MOOC-learning as a basis for solving the problem of mass individual education are suggested on the base of the performed analysis. As a possible ways of complex solutions of the formulated actual problems  the following steps are proposed: 1) creation of fundamental educational resources with basic knowledge, protected from unskilled interpretations, 2) new balanced approaches to the development of methods of automation of electronic educational content development, 3) introduction of electronic educational testing with  dialog imitation on the basis of automated analysis of students responses and adaptation of the electronic system to the level of individual users. Specific versions of software solutions that carry out these actions are proposed, as well as examples of their practical use in the educational process.
