IRIS Invigilation (IRIS) helps provide educators assurance of assessment integrity during online and remote assessment.
What is IRIS?
IRIS Invigilation (IRIS) is a software program that helps provide educators assurance of assessment integrity during online and remote assessment. It records audio, video, and computer screen activity for the duration of a test/exam. It analyses this information using machine learning and automatically flags potential academic dishonesty through displaying the data in an easy to use reporting dashboard.
How does it work?
IRIS records video of a student's face throughout their proctored exam tracking head and eye movement. It records the audio from the student computer’s microphone video from their webcam and takes successive screenshots of what the student is seeing on their computer screen. Facial markers are identified and tracked; categorising and distinguishing innocent behaviours from dishonest behaviours. Educators can then review this data at a time that is convenient to help ensure student identity verification and assessment integrity.
Is it safe for students to share their data?
IRIS Invigilation software is a safe, secure and necessary method of maintaining academic integrity at a university/institute. The proctoring/invigilation of online assessments is necessary when conducting online learning to ensure educational standards are maintained and to avoid academic dishonesty. Students that share their data are helping to protect the quality and reputation of their institution.
The privacy and protection of students and their personal information is paramount. IRIS ensures that data security, protection laws, privacy legislation and regulation are their priority. IRIS uses AWS Cloud Security to protect data and host all data in Sydney, Australia. IRIS does not sell or use any student assessment data; only IRIS technical administrators have access to this for maintenance and security purposes.
IRIS Security Infrastructure:
• Two-factor authentication is enabled for the cloud services account that hosts IRIS
• Strict firewall schemes protect all IRIS related services to protect user data and prevent nefarious access to the IRIS infrastructure
• Only ports and services that need to communicate with each other and to the outside world will be kept open. These ports/services have strict IP security groups for inbound and outbound traffic
• IRIS will never share or sell your personal data to a third party.
• Google Chrome will ask your permission before installing the IRIS extension on your computer.
• IRIS will only invigilate you during your exam. The permissions you agree to are only for the exam duration.

So annoying, it approves my camera then 15 minutes into my exam it says its disconnected which is impossible because the camera is built in and works perfectly, I use it every day all the time. There is no one to complain too, IRIS doesn't respond to emails and the university just says that they are sorry to hear of the "challenges". Really bad invigilator, everyone hates this thing.
High chance of losing your exam video with this invigilator app. It is horrible. IRIS app shows I uploaded successfully but UNISA says I didn't.
mxm u waste our time...did it have to be thi confusing and difficult?
Did it have to be this complicated?
The most confusing software i have ever known by far. any university that use this system for exams delays the progress of the students years and years.
One of the worst invigilation apps , not to mention the support is ridiculous. I had to repeat an exam from last because they can not find my recordings whilst on the app it shows this was uploaded successfully.
WORST worst wooorst software by far. I failed TWICE because it didn't load the password, and i'm about to use it again for the third time????... c'mon!
The app is so difficult to download and to use. I failed so many times to get it .
NOT A SOFTWARE BUT AN EXTENTION. ALSO PRIVACY IS BEING INFRINGED.
This is an invasion of privacy. Direct device monitoring is not the way to keep cheating at bay because if people would want to cheat they will find a way nevertheless. Stay in your lane and monitor what is going on on your website, don't force people to sign up for device monitoring and taking screenshots of their entire computer.
Did you manage to down load please help me if is there anyone who can help
Worst app ever I cant even download this nonsense.How are we suppose to write and pass our exams with this?
it is very complicated to be honest
This is truly the worst software ever!!! It does not add the password like it should. It is supposed to be a user friendly tool for students. How am I supposed to write my exam like this! It's probably the worst app I have used in the past year.
Impossible to get started. Setup process is too complicated.
The extension works perfectly well. Only those who don't know how to set it up experience issues!
guy please if u want to install iris on your pc easily don't search chrome just download it then use it to search for the app then press on that app add to chrome then after it on your task bar at top right corner you will see puzzle structure is where you pin your iris then from there you follow unisa instructions
there is no easy way of using the app , the app itself feels like an exam .
The worst App thus far why did they not Invigilator App ? The App keeps kicking me out for no reason.
This is a useless App, I can't download it mxm, Unisa didn't think for us to use this App
can i get since it doesn't give results
I'm trying to download Iris on my laptop, and I am not winning, please assist me. I need to write an exam with UNISA
The app was running throughout my exam (submitted and all) but still my exam got rejected because apparently i did not use the app. How when it was running throughout the exam?
Poor design and difficult to use. Slows down your computer massively. Makes doing something that should take 5 mins take 30. One star is being generous.
If it were possible to rate lower I would. Completely useless. Doesn't work properly half the time. One of the few times it was working, instead of opening one tab to show that IRIS invigilation is working, it opened up 20+ tabs making my computer slow, chrome stopped responding and now I have to retake the module and pay for it AGAIN.
This is just useless
Completetly useless, i could not upload anything this is rubbish even rating it zero would be giving it some sort of credit.
Not reliable. Only managed to make it work for one out of three of my exams. Now I have to repeat the other ones. The program should allow you to setup even when the exam time has started, and cater for situations where one experiences technical issues like network downtime or load shedding. The exam paper/questions should only be visible after setup is successfully completed.
It's not recording nd I'm writing an exam. Last year the same paper was rejected because of this nonsense. If there was a zero rating I would be giving it right now.
I DID MY BEST TO DOWNLOAD YOUR APP, WHO FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT. ZERO STAR
I've been trying to upload my session for weeks.

This is a bad extension. I have never started on time with this thing as it always has problems.

Useless, pops up multiple windows both in tabs and that recording window, sometimes will say tracking is disabled and to see tabs but the tabs provide no action, just says do not close. It mostly does not upload when i was testing it using the mock test. Will stay stuck on the uploading screen, my internet bandwith is 450mbps down and 106mbps up. This is a horrible app to use, and I have a 3 hour paper and they want me to stare at the screen for 3 hours, feels like we have really dumbed down here.

This is a bad App. I started the exam late because of this App and still it did not record anything. How do I proof that I used IRIS during Exams. UNISA PLEASE BE SERIOUS.

The only reason this review gets 1 star is because there's no option to give it 0. If we're being required to use this thing for a major part of our grades, it should at least function remotely as intended instead of crashing every time.

Doesn't open at all. When I test it on the iris website, it works. However when I go to the UNISA website, a popup does not appear at all. Useless. I tried everything, I give up
