Knowledge is used to empower and enrich people culturally and materially and to build a sustainable society. Social networks, OCWs, MOOCs and connectivist approaches to learning contribute significantly to the construction of this knowledge. But the study of these new digital learning environments (ENA) is also becoming more complicated. The use of complex system modelling makes it possible to transcribe the observed phenomena and facilitate their analysis using specific tools. This paper presents and highlights the value of the complex systems theory for the study of the new-generation ENA behaviour. It describes in depth a realistic approach and proposes effective management tools.}}
