Form groups that spread teacher-provided balance scores and repeated classroom roles. Keep students, number of groups, and student balance settings visible while you spread teacher-provided experience scores across lab groups, then review the balanced student groups.

Distribute repeated classroom roles

For this case, set students, number of groups, and student balance settings, then choose “Build balanced groups.” Check the balanced student groups before sharing or putting the result into use.

Create a balanced draft for teacher review

The Balanced Student Group Generator result still needs organizer review. Scores and roles are supplied by the teacher and should not encode protected traits. The result does not apply together-or-apart rules.

Why Balanced Student Group Generator keeps its setup visible

How the visible setup shapes the result

The tool applies balanced group rules only to students, number of groups, and student balance settings. Review those settings with the balanced student groups; the result does not apply together-or-apart rules.

  • The visible setup—students, number of groups, and student balance settings—defines what can appear in the result.
  • Changing a setting may change the balanced student groups, so confirm the setup before running the tool.
  • The result still has this limit: scores and roles are supplied by the teacher and should not encode protected traits.

What happens to inputs in Balanced Student Group Generator

The active inputs and balanced student groups remain with the open task. Random 42 does not save Balanced Student Group Generator work as an online project; refreshing or closing the tool clears that active work.

  • You can use Balanced Student Group Generator without an account or saved result history.
  • For “Spread teacher-provided experience scores across lab groups,” enter only the values represented by students, number of groups, and student balance settings; leave unrelated personal or sensitive information out.

Boundaries
