Give Every Lecturer the Tools to
Keep Getting Better
Your staff are experts in their fields. IRIS Connect gives them the structure to become equally strong in how they teach
The Challenges Holding Back Teaching Quality
One-off training days rarely change how your staff actually teach
A workshop in September is forgotten by half term. Without ongoing practice, reflection, and feedback, nothing actually shifts. And research proves this.
Development depends on who has time, not who needs it
CPD happens when a coach or mentor is available, which means most staff go without. The people who need support most often get it least.
Great subject knowledge does not automatically mean great teaching
Most lecturers were hired for what they know, not how they teach. That is not a criticism. It is an opportunity every institution can act on.
How It Works:
Simple for Lecturers. Powerful for Leaders
Three steps. No complex rollout. No extra workload for your quality team
RECORD
Capture a Real Session
Lecturers capture their sessions on any device using the IRIS Connect app. Recordings upload automatically to a private, GDPR-compliant account. They choose what to share and with whom.
REFLECT
Review With Focus
AI Insights highlights key moments and patterns in the recording, giving lecturers a clear starting point for reflection. Personalised Pathways guide them through relevant theory, video examples, and structured development activities.
REFINE
Share, Discuss, Develop
Lecturers share selected clips with colleagues for structured peer feedback. Development conversations are grounded in real practice, not memory. Leaders see engagement and progress across the institution through dashboards.
The Outcomes That Matter To You
IRIS Connect does not just record sessions. It builds the infrastructure for continuous teaching improvements across your institution
PGCAP and Lecturer Education
Connect PGCAP programmes to real practice. Lecturers record, reflect, and share with programme peers, bridging the gap between theory and their own sessions.
New and Industry-Route Staff
Give new lecturers a library of real teaching examples from within your institution, so they learn what good looks like in their own context from day one.
Evidence Collection
Build a continuous, auditable evidence base of teaching development across your institution, without anyone having to compile it manually.
Experienced Staff
Keep development active for every lecturer, not just new ones. Enable experienced staff to try new approaches, review their own delivery, and engage in peer feedback across departments.

What Lecturers Are Saying
“For me, IRIS Connect is a fantastic tool to reflect and better myself. I really liked that I don’t have to share everything and could just pick sections I felt I wanted feedback on and discuss these with my coach.”
Carine Simmonds, Lecturer in Childcare, South Devon College
“IRIS Connect has been a game changer for us — it makes lesson observation far easier to manage and gives staff more ownership over their development.”
Helen Waters, Associate Professor of Education, University College Birmingham
Peer-Reviewed Research From the University of Queensland
A 2025 University of Queensland study found that structured video-based peer feedback using IRIS Connect helped students across Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, and Education develop deeper reflection, greater confidence in giving and receiving feedback, and stronger feedback literacy. The study demonstrates how digital peer feedback can bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice.
A Smarter Approach to Teaching Development
High-performing institutions build systems that make professional growth routine, structured, and supported. IRIS Connect provides that system.
Teaching enhancement becomes continuous rather than cyclical. Measurable rather than assumed. Developmental rather than performative.
That is how improvement scales.
