Abstract

The article considers the possibility of using smart and e-learning technologies to create flexible educational information environments. A way to combine the modular instruction technology and the technology of building and application of mind maps (mind mapping) is offered. Mind mapping is considered as an instrumental basis for creation of multidimensional information environments. Mind mapping is regarded as instrumental basis of the modular instruction. Mind maps are used for systematic organization of training material and management of the students’ activities. The peculiarity of the proposed format is the navigation system that allows, using cross hyperlinks, to direct students to diverse information both within the blocks and modules, and between them, to use sources of information presented on the Internet and in the personal computers of students, to develop common and personal information environments based on the underlying environment created by the teacher. This paper was written as a part of work on Governmental Order 2014/392, Project 1942 of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
