The Cornerstone On Demand Learning Management System can do a lot of things, including:

Deliver Training: The Cornerstone system was launched in 2015 as a platform for required online learning modules. The system is capable of doing much more and will continue to be expanded. Ultimately managers, committees, leaders, faculty, and any university stakeholder with knowledge or information that needs to be delivered either to specific or broad groups of employees has the potential to develop and deliver training content through the system.

Record Training and Professional Development Received Off-Campus: If you have engaged in any kind of professional development, take credit for it!  Record it in your Cornerstone dashboard and upload evidence of the credits you received for the program.  Your supervisor must approve it and will require proof of having completed the program.  If your job requires you to maintain continuing education credits, including licensure, this is a great way to communicate completion of these obligations to your supervisor and HR. 

Communicate New Policies/Procedures: Departments with important policy or procedural communication needs can deliver new policy information through this system.
