An AI-powered platform
obsessed with results.
Fulcrum's Adaptive 3.0 learning platform gives learners the tools they need to go at their own pace, master skills and successfully apply the training back on the job. And the platform’s analytics verify learner mastery, identify “All Stars,” and both predict At-Risk learners and provide actionable data to help them succeed, so they don't have to... "fake-it-til-they-make-it."
Licensing Fulcrum's SaaS platform will empower you with a proven, award-winning training system that can integrate with an LMS or act as a standalone entity. It can host and effectively deliver a broad variety of content, including AR, VR and content built with tools such as Articulate’s Storyline and Rise and Adobe’s Captivate. And our user-friendly CMS has been universally praised as "intuitive" and "best in class." Let's schedule a demo if you're curious.
We are told we’re excellent collaborators, not merely a vendor. We want to understand, in earnest, what KPIs or other strategic L&D objectives are critical for success so we can work hand in hand to meet or exceed them. Chief Learning Officer Magazine awarded Fulcrum the 2019 Gold in Excellence in Partnerships for our outstanding collaboration with our customers.
Fulcrum is, at its core,
a Data Science company.
We’ve committed to an Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning framework, which allows us to build our proprietary models such as our Behavior & Knowledge Mapping (BKM™) on top to emulate, as best as possible, a one-on-one coach or mentor type experience.
Fulcrum distills and turns data into simple, actionable information. Whether it's predicting which learners will apply what they have learned back to the job, or analyzing the effectiveness of your course content so you can optimize it and measure performance increases, Fulcrum ensures the customer can take action with its data.
Proprietary, API-First & Built From the Ground Up, we didn't acquire or cobble together other outside technologies to build our adaptive learning platform. Therefore, our platform is incredibly configurable and malleable with integrations, customizations, or extending our API service layer to customers who want to build on top of it.
I am deeply impressed by the professionalism, curiosity, and commitment Fulcrum has to understanding and enhancing student outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glad you asked, because this is the core of our competitive advantage and everything we do, every decision we make and the millions of dollars we've invested in our technology has been driven by our Mission: Turn students (and employees) into learners and turn learners into confident subject matter masters.
Look for adaptive learning platforms that can pinpoint the depth and degree each concept, competency and/or learning objective has been mastered, and that also evaluate course efficacy and suggest ways to improve it.
Adaptive technology is a powerful learning tool for the learner, but it’s exponentially more powerful when it’s combined with other elements of personalized learning, a competency-based approach and things like microlearning, because it then starts to truly replicate many of the benefits of a dedicated, one-on-one tutor.
It’s easy to get excited about the potential of an adaptive platform, but make sure it’s also going to meet all your technical requirements, in terms of things like compatibility, ease of use (think SSO) and, of course, stability. Just because a learning platform is digital and can theoretically handle high volumes of learners, doesn’t automatically mean that it will in real-world practice. You might not want to be the first one to find out.
Adaptive technology has the potential to maximize course efficiency, in terms of time to mastery, as the system is adjusting for each learner, serving them the most appropriate level of challenge, in-the-moment tips, hints and positive feedback. On the learner side -- because they don’t see all the behind the scenes adjustments made by our adaptive engine -- one of the most common compliments we get from learners is that they love being able to go at their own pace. Note, they’re also able to jump right into proving mastery for those subjects in which they have prior knowledge.
Similar to a one-on-one tutor, we want don’t want to discourage or frustrate learners with material that is clearly above their current ability or lose their attention by presenting them with material that is clearly well below their capabilities. So, one of our main goals with our adaptive algorithms is “Optimal Challenge,” the level of difficulty just above a learner’s current ability. Optimal Challenge is a strategy that has been used successfully across the gaming industry.
Adaptive learning platforms have the potential to collect a wealth of data on both the learner and the course. An effective adaptive platform should be using data and A.I. to help instructors quickly and confidently target remediation and provide assistance in fine-tuning the course. But the data shouldn’t overwhelm instructors with unnecessary stats or cluttered displays. Look for instructor dashboards that keep things simple and relevant, namely: Who needs help, Where (specific learning objectives), and Why. Make sure the platform can help you evaluate course performance and make suggestions for how to improve it, based on analytics. Consider that your course is not fixed. Go into the process knowing that you’re going to make tweaks and additions to the course over time. You’ll refine some of the assessments and/or content. You’ll have new additions. You might want to take something out that’s no longer relevant. You might just want to move things around in terms of the order of the course. Pick a platform and partner where this is easy. You’ll thank yourself later.
You’re not just picking technology; you’re also picking a partner. Make sure your goals and philosophies align. Speak with their customers about their experience—integration, implementation, rubric for success, the provider’s process, collaboration skills, customer service, hidden fees, stability of the platform, etc.

Yes. We’re a global training solution and our platform can support local language needs.
The structure and framework of our adaptive platform are designed specifically around micro and nano learning. Learners are presented 1-5 learning objectives at a time and master those before moving on, as numerous studies have shown that breaking information up into micro and nano learning “chunks” increases engagement, focus and retention.
*Micro-learning and nano-learning are just one of several learning science components that we’re leveraging to create an effective, efficient and learner-friendly experience.
Fulcrum Labs Personalized Adaptive Learning and Predictive Analytics (PALPA™) Platform is not an LMS or HRMIS. It’s a powerful, complementary learning tool for your existing system. Our platform creates a personalized, adaptive learning experience for your students or employees, while our proprietary algorithms and data analytics help your instructors and administrators predict learning and costly application gaps.
Yes, our platform easily integrates into other systems allowing for seamless SSO (Single Sign On) authentication. Common industry API standards we've used with our customers include LTI and SAML. For older systems, we can implement via LDAP.
Our insights are powered by our own proprietary data science models, hosted on the Amazon Web Services AI platform for maximum security, reliability and scalability.
Good question. It’s something we’ve been asked a lot lately. Yes, it can. Some of our partners use our platform as both a training tool and also to optimize the screening process of new hires.
Candidates simply complete an approximately 10-15 minute diagnostic course in our competency-based platform. (The course could be built from your training content and/or some content from our prebuilt library.)
Our analytics then identify candidates with the greatest potential from your pool of applicants. You'll have a distinct advantage in hiring the right people; greater confidence in the selection process; employees that are more focused before they start; the ability to streamline and accelerate the hiring process; and as a result of these things, you'll increase productivity and reduce turnover.
The process also gives candidates a much greater sense of the position to assess if the position is a good fit for them as well, which also helps ensure you get the right person for the job and reduce turnover.

How do you track your training outcomes?
Historically, learning outcomes in the corporate training and compliance space have been defined and tracked by your LMS as seat time and completion. To make sure you're empowering your employees and reaping the full benefits of training, the key question is: Did the employee master the material?
Fulcrum Labs’ proprietary algorithms are gathering hundreds of points of data that can be used by organizations to pinpoint exactly what an employee knows. We can track learning down to a single learning objective and determine if this learning is merely rote memorization or if the learner can apply the knowledge to the job. Fulcrum is a robust evaluation tool that can help reduce risk for compliance heavy industries, maximize efficiencies for process driven jobs, and greatly reduce the amount of time spent training.
