The main objective of the present study is the re-structuring of the course Kinetics of Biochemical Processes, mainly the conception, production, availability and evaluation of simulators, representing practical experiments. The changes made in the course were due to the possibility of introducing new information and communication technologies to the teaching activity, in order to make the teachinglearning process easier. The course Kinetics of Biochemical Processes occupies a virtual environment for learning at the university, the PVANet. With the constant improvement of the information and communication technologies and the software systems conceived to help the teaching practice, it was observed a need for changes in the no content of the course, in an attempt to adjust it to the real needs of students, in a context increasingly dominated by technologies, computers and the WEB. The re- structuring of the course in the PVANet required a review of its contents, with the organization of tools made available in the virtual environment and, mainly, with the production of practical classes with simulated experiments. In this content, the simulations allowed the performance of many hypothesis tests in a short time, which would not be possible in a conventional laboratory. Different groups took part in the evaluation of the changes carried out in the course: students regularly enrolled in the course, ex-students and professionals of the area of biochemical processes. In general, the results indicated that the public evaluated presented enthusiasm with education helped by computer resources, which is demonstrated by the high grades and suggestions of changes in the resources used in the course.
