At the stage of designing an educational environment, one of the most significant problems is the creation of effective visualization tools for collecting, organizing and analysing educational information. Existing approaches to visual information analysis have a number of disadvantages, which include a significant resource intensity and high requirements for preparation for those who are involved in the analysis. This article demonstrates the feasibility of using visualization tools for the design assessment of educational environments, which enables the development of necessary tools for tasks with a large amount of educational information, as well as in the event of their change or accumulation. The purposeful use of visual perception features and the proposed approach to the organization of educational activities create perspectives for visualization tools, while working with a large amount of information. A number of features of a student and educational environment interaction have been identified, which are designed according to the principle of meta-design.
