This article is dedicated to exploring the peculiarities of developing entrepreneurial competencies among students of different age groups in the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) environment. A model for teaching entrepreneurship in the MOOC environment has been developed. Additionally, the model involves the implementation of pedagogical approaches to the development of entrepreneurial competencies using digital platforms and tools. An educational experiment involving 150 students aged 16 to 60 from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Romania, and Bulgaria was conducted on the open educational platform Coursera. The study’s results indicated that the correlation of learning outcomes for the older generation was significantly lower than that for the younger generation, regardless of the training type. It was concluded that online courses are effective for both young and elderly respondents, but their learning perception differs. This article can be useful for developers of educational business courses in the MOOC environment that aim to expand the age characteristics of students.
