Cornerstone OnDemand reports completion, progress and assessment results, but has no visibility into attention within a piece of content. Emotuit adds content-level engagement data — dwell, focus, tab-switching and drop-off position — through a sub-50KB script, alongside existing reporting rather than replacing it.
What Cornerstone OnDemand already gives you
Reporting 2.0 offers a comprehensive custom report builder across transcripts, completions, certifications and compliance status.
What it does not
Built for compliance evidence, which it does very well. It answers "can we prove this workforce completed the training" definitively, and "did the training work" not at all.
This is not a criticism of Cornerstone specifically — it is true of essentially every LMS on the market. Completion and navigation data is what these systems were built to record, and they record it well. Attention is a different measurement problem, solved in the content layer rather than the platform layer.
How Emotuit fits
Cornerstone restricts direct script injection on most tenancies, so the reliable route is a SCORM or AICC wrapper around your content. The SDK runs inside the package rather than in the platform chrome.
The SDK is under 50KB, adds one script tag, and requires no migration or infrastructure change. It runs alongside Cornerstone's own reporting rather than replacing it.

Deployment note
The wrapper approach means no platform-level configuration and no dependency on Cornerstone release cycles — a practical advantage in large regulated tenancies.
Works with
Any SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or AICC package in your Cornerstone catalogue.
What you get
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Content-level engagement | A score for every section, not one per course |
| Drop-off position | Where sessions actually end |
| Focus-adjusted dwell | Real attention, discounting background tabs |
| Tab-switch rate | The strongest single predictor of disengagement |
| Replay behaviour | Where learners went back — a confusion signal |
| Cohort comparison | A/B test content versions on real attention |
Deployment options
Emotuit runs in two configurations, and for LMS deployments in the EU the choice matters.
Signals uses behavioural telemetry only — no camera, no biometric data, no emotion inference. It sits outside the EU AI Act Article 5(1)(f) prohibition on inferring emotions in workplace and education contexts, which makes it the default recommendation for corporate L&D and education.
Learn adds a client-side facial expression layer. It should not be deployed to EU employees or students, and is intended for market research, UX and media testing contexts.
