Cornerstone and Meta Partner to Bring the Future of Learning to Life

By

The future of work continues to evolve. We’ve seen it countless times on Future of Work, driven by technological advancements and shifting workforce demands. As organizations fight with the need to upskill and reskill their employees, innovative solutions are emerging to address these challenges.

One such solution is immersive learning, a powerful approach that uses virtual and augmented reality to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. By immersing learners in simulated environments, immersive learning enhances knowledge retention and skill development.

Immersive learning offers a multitude of advantages for organizations. By engaging multiple senses, immersive learning can significantly improve knowledge retention and skill acquisition.  

Immersive experiences can also captivate learners and motivate them to actively participate in the learning process. Additionally, by providing employees with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, immersive learning can boost productivity and job satisfaction.

AI can also be used to create realistic and dynamic virtual environments. For example, AI-powered virtual characters simulate real-world scenarios to allow learners to practice their skills in a safe and controlled setting. This is beneficial for high-stakes training, such as medical simulations or crisis management scenarios.

Cornerstone OnDemand, a provider of workforce agility solutions, and Meta, the technology company behind platforms like Facebook and Instagram, recently joined forces to push the boundaries of immersive learning. One of the main purposes of this strategic partnership is to democratize access to immersive learning technologies and integrate them into corporate training programs.

By using AI, Cornerstone and Meta will develop highly personalized and adaptive learning experiences. AI algorithms analyze individual learner data to tailor content, pacing and assessment strategies. This ensures that each employee receives the optimal learning journey.

"Meta is committed to the accessibility of extended reality and artificial intelligence,” said Himanshu Palsule, CEO of Cornerstone. “Democratized access is key to scaling this technology, which is reaching a critical mass due to continued investment and innovation on both the hardware and software sides. Cornerstone Immerse and Immerse Companion is scaling content creation of personalized and human or ‘soft’ skills trainings thanks to GenAI, and we’re excited to continue working with Meta to advance this technology with their platform and hardware.”

AI will continue to advance. VR/AR technologies will become more accessible. Therefore, immersive learning is on track to become a cornerstone of corporate training. By embracing this innovative approach, organizations empower their employees, drive business growth and stay ahead of the curve in the always-changing world of work.

Be part of the conversation to understand the Future of Work and how both customer and employee experiences are changing, at Future of Work Expo 2025.
