Iris connect by Helen

I was interested to see how it integrated into my teaching

2025-10-07 10:30:40 UTC

I found it very straight forward

2025-10-07 10:30:58 UTC

It highlighted that I say 'OK' a lot!

Having now accessed and recorded, it wasn't as daunting as expected.

mchamberlain33 — 2025-10-07 10:45:46 UTC

The order of welcoming students to the sessions, introduction to the subject and expectations provided my own context too.

2025-10-07 10:52:23 UTC

Having only been in my role for a short period of time and with minimal feedback on my teaching so far, it felt a little overwhelming

2025-10-07 10:52:36 UTC

It was easy to use, and set up.

2025-10-07 10:55:03 UTC

The AI-generated feedback gave me some insight into my strengths and weaknesses, but as a new staff member, I think support to go through the input would be best for me. It is not just us looking at the AI feedback; it can be overwhelming.

2025-10-07 10:56:27 UTC

I will think about how to structure breaking down complex information for my students. And seek more support in how to be the best teacher at this early stage of my career

I was skeptical at first, although I use AI for lesson planning I did not think it would be as accurate as it was!

2025-10-07 10:56:34 UTC

Very easy and user friendly

2025-10-07 10:57:08 UTC

2025-10-07 10:57:24 UTC

More support for new members of staff needed

The AI feedback was informative and well structured, it highlighted both areas of strength and areas for improvement within my teaching

2025-10-07 10:58:04 UTC

I will ensure that I provide more extensive feedback as to why the students answers were not quite right. Rather than saying "Yes, that is almost correct" I may ask the student to expand upon their ideas, or ask others if they can expand upon it.

2025-10-07 11:00:00 UTC

not sure what do do with step 5

2025-10-07 11:38:51 UTC

2025-10-07 11:39:50 UTC

Having used Iris connect previously I felt less anxious to use again and having completed my first session I have found the AI feedback very informative.

2025-10-07 11:40:17 UTC

Easy recording a little advice required to upload to AI section.

2025-10-07 11:41:00 UTC

Very helpful as it guided me on where to improve and offered suggestions which can be watched.

2025-10-07 11:41:19 UTC

Try and watch the videos linked to feedback and implement.

Very easy

lallen268 — 2025-10-07 12:23:16 UTC

I found it easy to use and straight forward

I did not really have time to ponder over and just arranged to complete what was required.

2025-10-07 21:22:17 UTC

Straight forward, my colleague kindly assisted me.

2025-10-07 21:23:08 UTC

The feedback has given me good insight and what I will consider to continue developing.

2025-10-07 21:24:45 UTC

Implement recommendations and work towards achieving my goals.

2025-10-07 21:25:41 UTC

Not at present, I feel everyone is approachable and if questions do arise I know help and support is always at hand. Thank you.

2025-10-07 21:26:58 UTC

Disconcerted - AI feedback is impersonal and lacks the human quality necessary to effectively coach professionals in a people-facing role.

2025-10-08 10:11:15 UTC

Easy, thank you to my colleagues for assisting.

2025-10-08 10:12:03 UTC

There were some helpful observations and suggestions. However, the feedback focused mainly on incorrectly transcribed phrases and cannot account for the subjective conscious experience ('qualia') of being a human present in a classroom.

2025-10-08 10:18:15 UTC

I will incorporate more checks for prior learning and knowledge recall.

2025-10-08 10:18:52 UTC

I hope that AI remains a supplemental tool rather than the primary way staff are coached at UCB.

khurstcarroll — 2025-10-08 11:25:38 UTC

I was worried that I would be really nervous about the camera watching me and then knowing my mentor would watch it.

khurstcarroll — 2025-10-08 11:27:03 UTC

Helen shown me how to set it up the first time but I have recently helped another colleague to set up and it was super easy

khurstcarroll — 2025-10-08 17:03:48 UTC

The feedback is specific and gives ideas on how to improve, it highlighted that I need to incorporate more focused knowledge checks

khurstcarroll — 2025-10-08 17:04:48 UTC

I will learn students names so I can ask questions to the students that do not often speak in the group

Yes, the AI was very useful. It made it easy and quick to follow

2025-10-09 11:49:31 UTC

Anxious

2025-11-06 19:49:31 UTC

I'm old school. Prefer lessons obs. Anxious to familiarise myself with a new gadget

Easy

2025-11-06 19:49:47 UTC

Easy peasy

Hmm

2025-11-06 19:50:54 UTC

Not sure the feedback is always appropriate. Some tasks require less input, yet it suggests I need to scaffold more. The students had already been taught the content in previous lessons.

Unsure

2025-11-06 19:51:27 UTC

I've recorded the session. Not sure what to do for the formal lesson ob

2025-11-07 07:46:22 UTC

Not sure how useful the AI feedback is

2025-11-07 07:47:38 UTC

Not all of the feedback was relevant

Skeptical at first but willing to give it a go.

akhatoon1 — 2025-11-07 10:32:10 UTC

Straight forward and very easy to use

akhatoon1 — 2025-11-07 10:32:29 UTC

Extremely helpful that I want to record more and improve my teaching

akhatoon1 — 2025-11-07 10:32:47 UTC

Using the feedback that was offered improve my questioning and transitions between tasks.

akhatoon1 — 2025-11-07 10:33:25 UTC

ademarchi3 — 2025-12-09 13:54:59 UTC

curious and excited

ademarchi3 — 2025-12-09 13:55:15 UTC

very easy

ademarchi3 — 2025-12-09 14:13:38 UTC

some strategies to try for gaining attention and giving feeback

Alright

2026-02-24 08:39:00 UTC

I used Iris Connect before, so I know how supportive it might be, but I wasn't particularly thrilled

Simple

2026-02-24 08:39:32 UTC

I just had to ensure time between classes to get everything on place

2026-02-24 08:42:27 UTC

Need to include more hinge questions and explicit whole-class checks for understanding

2026-02-24 08:43:13 UTC

Include notes for myself to stop for checks for understanding in critical points

2026-02-24 08:46:38 UTC

The teaching advice given (part 4) seems very artificial, and I worry whether there are checks or reviews for accuracy, or whether the pedagogical suggestions are even AI-generated.

2026-02-25 10:08:46 UTC

I liked it seemed like a useful reflection tool

2026-02-25 10:09:01 UTC

It was easy to record
