Enhance coherence across theory and practice
Bridge the gap between university-based learning and classroom application. Using adaptive Pathways, you can sequence development activities that link theory with practice, providing mentors and trainees with a shared structure and clear expectations.
Our system is highly customisable and can adapt to support your frameworks, integrate your own content or third-party resources, such as Teaching WalkThrus, for flexibility and pedagogical depth.
Improve visibility and evidence for quality assurance
Give tutors, mentors and programme leaders an evidence-rich, transparent view of trainee progress. Video observations, reflections and feedback are stored securely, making quality assurance more efficient and reducing administrative burden.
Dashboards and reports provide data for internal evaluation, Ofsted evidence and research projects, strengthening accountability and insight.
Enhance efficiency without replacing existing systems
We provide single sign on, a feature rich user management API and the ability to enable custom integrations for data import and export.
You remain in control, while our trusted technology ensures reliability, data protection and accessibility.
Support mentor development and consistency
Give school-based mentors clear, consistent structures for coaching conversations. Our video-based examples and feedback tools ensure all trainees receive the same quality of support across placements, while mentors benefit from guided professional development themselves.

“Initially I saw IRIS Connect as a way for trainees to be able to see their own delivery and reflect. I did not realise the full scope of the platform. What I love most is the organisation of it! Everything is together, easy to review, revisit and for trainees to track their progress.”
