	abstract = {The present study is an analysis of the learning activity, which constitutes simulation of networks and studying their functioning and dynamics. The study is based on using network-like learning environments. Such environments allow building computer models of the network graphs. According to the suggested approach, the students construct dynamic computer models of the networks{\textquoteright} graphs, thus implementing various algorithms of such networks{\textquoteright} dynamics. The suggested tool for building the models is the software environment comprising network analysis software NodeXL and a standard spreadsheet Excel. The proposed approach enables the students to visualize the network{\textquoteright}s dynamics. The paper presents specific examples of network models and various algorithms of the network{\textquoteright}s dynamics, which were developed based on the proposed approach.},
