However, the current generation of biological science students has either little or no experience with such tools. As such, this educational glitch is limiting both the potential use of such tools as well as the potential for tighter cooperation between the designers and users. Although some simulation tool producers encourage their use in teaching, little attempt has hitherto been made to analyze and discuss their suitability as an educational tool for noncomputing science students. In general, today's simulation tools assume that the user has a stronger mathematical and computing background than that which is found in most biological science curricula, thus making the introduction of such tools a considerable pedagogical challenge. This paper provides an evaluation of the pedagogical attributes of existing simulation tools for cell signal transduction based on Cognitive Load theory. Further, design recommendations for an improved educational simulation tool are provided. The study is based on simulation tools for cell signal transduction. However, the discussions are relevant to a broader biological simulation tool set.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219720011005410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,8]],"date-time":"2011-03-08T11:23:27Z","timestamp":1299583407000},"page":"579-595","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["VISUALIZATION IN SIMULATION TOOLS: REQUIREMENTS AND A TOOL SPECIFICATION TO SUPPORT THE TEACHING OF DYNAMIC BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"09","author":[{"given":"KATARINA M.","family":"J\u00d8RGENSEN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway"}]},{"given":"PAULINE C.","family":"HADDOW","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CRAB Lab, Department of Computer and Information Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt1020"},{"key":"rf2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1127750"},{"key":"rf4","first-page":"563","volume":"9","author":"Mendes P.","journal-title":"Comput.
