In the article some results of one of the work directions of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky are presented to scope information technologies in education - creation of a virtual collection of the mechanisms most often meet when studying a course of Theoretical Mechanics. Models developed in the Department are urged to help students to see behind the flat kinematic schemes really moving mechanisms in volume representation.Models of the slider-crank mechanism, the crank-and-rocker mechanism, two types of the link gear, the ellipsograph, the turned ellipsograph, some types of planetary trains and differentials, the Maltese mechanism and some other are described. Many of the presented models allow not only to show movement, but also show possibility of parameters change - numbers of degrees of freedom, the direction of movement of separate elements, their speeds. In some models detailed methodical comments are added to demonstration process of movement. Some aspects of a virtual collection use in different types of occupations - at lectures, seminars and during the independent work of students are considered.
