Put a camera in every student’s hands
CameraSim Classroom is an interactive photography course and free-roam 3D camera simulator, built for teachers who want every student shooting, not just watching.
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...
You sign up and create your classroom link.
One link. Share it however you share things with your students: LMS, email, whiteboard, whatever.
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.
You track progress from your dashboard.
See where every student is, who’s moving, who’s stuck. Your membership covers your whole class for Clicked! and Field Trip.

Plans from $79/year — everything included
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.
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.

Built by the creator of CameraSim
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.
Create a free account and try the first 3 chapters of Clicked! and a scene of Field Trip yourself. When you’re ready to open it up to your students, memberships start at $79/year with plans for 50, 100, or 200 students — and a full refund within 60 days if it’s not the right fit. And if your school pays by purchase order or check, you can generate a quote yourself.
Create your free preview accountFrequently 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?
Plans come in 50, 100, and 200-student sizes, and the limit applies to Clicked! and Field Trip separately. It’s a limit on active students at a time — seats free up when you remove students you’re done with, so one plan covers as many classes over the year as you like. If you’d rather keep every student’s records instead of clearing them out between classes, size up so nobody gets bumped. Need more than 200 at once? Email sales@camerasim.com for school- and district-wide pricing.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Create a free account and you’ll get the first 3 chapters of Clicked! plus a free sample of Field Trip — one scene, up to 10 shots a day — enough to see how both work, test them on your school’s hardware, and decide if they’re right for your class. No credit card required.
What does a membership cost?
Pick the plan that fits your class: $79/year for up to 50 students, $129/year for up to 100, or $199/year for up to 200. Every plan includes the full Clicked! course, Field Trip, ad-free simulators, classroom links, student progress tracking, and everything I add in the future. More than 200 students? Email support@camerasim.com for school- and district-wide pricing.
What if I pay and it doesn’t work for my class?
Email me at support@camerasim.com within 60 days for a full refund. I’d rather you try it risk-free than wonder.
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. And starting at $79/year, it costs less than a single used camera body.
Can my school pay by purchase order or check?
Yes — it’s built in. Create a free account, open Get a Quote from your account page, pick your plan, and download a formal PDF quote for your business office in under a minute. It includes a remit-to address, EIN, a PO-reference field, and a downloadable W-9 — everything procurement needs. Quotes stay valid for 60 days, so there’s room for board or PO approval. Pay by check or purchase order, and your seats activate as soon as the payment is processed.
What’s coming next?
New Field Trip scenes, more Clicked! content, and tools I haven’t announced yet. Your membership covers everything I build — no surprise add-ons.
