Abstract: The article considers the possibility of using mind maps in modular training. The synthesis of the modular training technology with the technology of mind maps (mind mapping) is presented. Mind mapping is regarded as instrumental basis of the modular training. Mind maps are used for systematic organization of training material and management of the students’ activities. The peculiarity of the proposed mathod 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. The navigator function in such environment is performed by the general map of the discipline, which is a multidimensional multilevel electronic hypertext. Working in such environment contributes to the creation of fairly sufficient system of basic knowledge of the discipline and the development of self-learning skills of the students. The proposed methodology is used when training the undergraduates of the Institute of Mathematics, Informatics and Information Technologies of the Ural State Pedagogical University within the "Educational Qualimetry" subject area.
