Edusim is a single walled Cave Automatic Virtual Environment based concept of lesson driven 3D virtual worlds on the classroom interactive whiteboard. The Edusim concept is demonstrated and the concept proven by the Edusim "free and open source" multi-user 3D virtual environment software designed for the classroom interactive whiteboard. The Edusim application is built on the open source Croquet Project software developers kit (SDK) and relies heavily on the benefits of direct manipulation for Avatar movements, 3D models, Croquet TPainter objects and Constructionist Learning principals.
