AI learning infrastructure · higher education
Scholarium builds faculty-governed AI learning infrastructure for higher education.
Our mission
To give every student the experience of one-on-one expert teaching — under the full governance of the faculty who teach them.
Our vision
A world where every student learns with a personal expert teacher — and every institution owns the intelligence that powers it.
Every behavior the platform exhibits sits under permissions your faculty control.
Your courses, your data, your records — held in your own dedicated environment.
Design choices trace to published research and pass graded tests before release.
The platform
A tutor for every student, a console for every professor, and a governance layer that keeps faculty above the machine.
A personal tutor grounded in each course's approved materials. It coaches students toward the answer, cites its sources — and declines to do graded work for them.
Professors approve and edit — never create from a blank page. A weekly digest names where the cohort struggles and where their intervention matters most.
Where they need you → office-hours focus: clearance vs half-life
Every capability sits under permissions faculty control. Every action is logged with its source, trigger, and approval — and any capability can be switched off.
Governance & trust
Faculty govern every behavior.
Your institution owns its data.
Single-tenant by default.
Export everything, anytime.
Every configuration passes a standing test suite of graded items before it reaches a student.
Evidence
The benchmark · one-on-one tutoring
Students tutored one-on-one under mastery learning outperform conventional classrooms by about two standard deviations.

The trial · a purpose-built AI tutor
In a randomized controlled trial at Harvard (N = 194), students learning with a purpose-built AI tutor outperformed an expertly run active-learning class by 0.73–1.3 standard deviations — with higher engagement, in less time.
