The research analyzed the results of a survey of teachers at Ukrainian universities on their attitude to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). It was found that MOOC provide possibilities for the formation of a digital educational environment, they ensure the implementation of the principles of massive character and openness in educational activities, they develop skills of independent work, critical thinking, and digital competence. There were 2,824 respondents from various universities in Ukraine who took part in the survey. It was found that, in general, teachers have a positive attitude towards online courses. It turned out that the most influential advantages of MOOC for teachers are acquiring new knowledge and receiving a certificate. The vast majority of teachers (96.53% of the total number of respondents) are fully or partially satisfied with the quality of Ukrainian online courses. At the same time, only a small part of respondents is willing to pay for online courses in Ukrainian (15.86% of respondents) and for courses which are in English (10.76% of respondents). Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we suggest directions for implementing MOOC in the educational process of universities and the ways to popularize them among teachers.
