CameraSim Classroom is an interactive photography course and free-roam 3D camera simulator, built for teachers who want every student shooting, not just watching.

🥳CameraSim Classroom is currently in free beta: full access to everything on this page, no credit card needed. The beta ends July 21. Sign up now, and on the 21st I’ll send beta members a discount code for Full Access.

You know the problem...

You’ve got 30 students and 6 cameras — maybe fewer. So you lecture, you show slides, you demo on the projector, and hope they retain it when it’s finally their turn to shoot.

Photography is a hands-on craft. Your students should be learning it that way.

A classroom where every student has a camera

CameraSim Classroom gives your students their own interactive 3D camera simulator — with a structured course and a free-roam practice environment that teach exposure by doing, not by watching.

In Clicked!, students work through real photographic scenarios, making decisions, seeing results, and building intuition. In Field Trip, they explore immersive 3D scenes with real camera controls at their own pace.

How it works...

1

You sign up and create your classroom link.

One link. Share it however you share things with your students: LMS, email, whiteboard, whatever.

Copy your classroom link to share with students
2

Students self-register and start the course.

Students create their own accounts through your link and begin working through Clicked! or Field Trip at their own pace.

Students register with their name to join the course
3

You track progress from your dashboard.

See where every student is, who’s moving, who’s stuck. Your membership covers up to 50 students for Clicked! and Field Trip.

Included free during the beta

Clicked!

A story-driven, interactive course that teaches exposure through 3D camera simulations. Students don’t read about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. They use them.

Field Trip
Early Access

This free-roam 3D simulator puts real camera controls in every student’s hands, with the freedom to practice exposure and composition at their own pace.

Hi, I’m Jon. I’ve been building CameraSim’s free camera simulators for over 17 years, and they’ve been used by photography teachers and students worldwide. CameraSim Classroom is the next step: purpose-built for instructors who want to bring that same interactive, hands-on approach into a structured classroom experience.

Frequently asked questions

What do my students need to use this?

A computer or tablet with a web browser. No downloads, no installs.

How do students access it?

You share your classroom link. Students click it, create a temporary account, and they’re in. Takes less than a minute.

How many students can I have?

Up to 50 students at a time for Clicked! and Field Trip each.

Can I preview everything before I pay?

During the beta, everything is free. Sign up and you’ll get full access to Clicked!, Field Trip, classroom links, student tracking, and ad-free sims. The beta ends July 21. After that, full access requires a paid plan.

Will I have to pay when the beta ends?

On July 21, your account switches to a free Preview with limited access. Full access (Clicked!, Field Trip, classroom links, and student tracking) will require a paid plan. As a beta member, you’ll get a discount code for Full Access on the 21st.

I already use the free CameraSim simulators. Why would I pay for this?

The free sims on camerasim.com are great for demonstrating concepts to a class. CameraSim Classroom is for when you want each student to have their own hands-on experience — working through Clicked! or exploring Field Trip at their own pace while you track their progress. It’s the difference between showing your class a camera and giving every student one.
