Using the IRIS Connect app, easily record your lessons with any Apple or Android device which automatically uploads to your private account on our secure and fully GDPR compliant platform. Discover the benefits of video-enabled lesson observation, capturing the full spectrum of classroom interactions.
Privacy by design:
With IRIS Connect, you’re always in control of your recording. No one can see or analyse your lesson video unless you decide to give them permission.
We all know the famous Dylan Wiliam quote ‘Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better.’ But, what if you don’t even know where to start? One of the hardest things about self reflection is to know what actually to reflect on, what to look out for. Our AI Insights make that a whole lot easier for you! At the click of a button it will analyse your entire lesson using the latest theories and research on key instructional strategies and highlight moments of interest for further investigation, including tailored recommendations and time-stamps to the exact moments in the video for you to revisit.
Based on the AI generated lesson insights, you can now select a development area to focus on and use the suggested reflective questions to guide your thinking when replaying these exact moments of your lesson on video. You can then document your thoughts using our time-linked video annotation feature and record your findings in the Pathway.
Now that you have a better understanding of which aspect of your teaching you might want to develop further, you’re probably wondering what better even looks like. AI Insights will provide you with tailored recommendations of which theory and techniques to explore. At the click of a button you can then choose and embed the relevant bite-sized theory & research alongside video models from our library, select a WalkThru* to work through or even embed your own school resources directly into your reflective Pathway.
*requires active WalkThrus membership
Now you can apply what you’ve learnt in your lesson, recording your practice for review and refinement. With each lesson, you’ll integrate these strategies until they become second nature.
Top tip: Share the recording
If you’d like further support, you could easily share a lesson recording with a coach or mentor to discuss your teaching practice. Or, if you’re excited about the progress you’ve made, how about sharing it back to your community so your colleagues can learn from it as well?
