AIM and Fulcrum Labs’ PAMC Course Named “Cool Tool” Winner in EdTech Digest Awards
Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) April 23, 2018 -- The Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) and Fulcrum Labs, a leader in personalized, adaptive learning technology and predictive analytics, won EdTech Digest’s prestigious Cool Tool Award in the category of Best Professional Skills Solution. These awards represent the largest and most competitive recognition program in all of education technology, recognizing the biggest names in edtech.
The award was presented to AIM and Fulcrum Labs for their collaboration in creating AIM’s successful Professional Aviation Maintenance Certification (PAMC) course – an online test-prep program powered by Fulcrum’s proprietary AI-driven adaptive learning platform to prepare AIM students for the high-stakes FAA mechanic certification exams. The award-winning entry highlighted key metrics such as a 14-percent improvement in pass rates and a dramatic 25-percent increase in student exam participation, once again, validating Fulcrum’s mission to turn learners into confident subject matters.
“Our program is two years long, and students were often struggling to retain what they learned at the beginning of their coursework. PAMC has helped our students as both a confidence booster and to solidify mastery and application of the material prior to taking the FAA exams,” said Dr. Joel English, VP of AIM. “It has resulted in a higher rate of exam participation and an increase in exam pass rates from 79-percent to 90-percent.”
“The FAA Aircraft Mechanic Certifications are truly make or break exams for these students,” said Patrick Weir, CEO of Fulcrum Labs. “Students who pass have greater opportunities for career advancement and are poised to make as much as $80,000 more per year than their peers who don’t pass. By giving these students the tools and confidence to be more successful, we’re making a real impact in their lives and futures, which continues to validate the tremendous, measurable results that adaptive learning is providing in learning and development at large.
The EdTech Awards recognizes people in and around education for outstanding contributions in transforming education through technology to enrich the lives of learners everywhere.
“We celebrate who’s who and what’s next in edtech,” said Victor Rivero, who as Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, oversees the awards program. “The innovators, leaders, and trendsetters represented here are dauntless, dedicated, and determined in their work.”
