Activity setup

FeedbackFruits tool(s) used:

Group Formation

Group Formation Tool allows teachers to make effective groups, automatically. Teachers can easily create inclusive and well-balanced groups, aiming to enhance group dynamics, learning outcomes, student satisfaction, and engagement.

These questions inquire about students:

Working preferences: location, time
Role they take in group work
Perception of personal strengths/skills

Currently students will be allocated to each other if they are similar on their preferences for working times and locations, but are different on their perception of roles they take, as well as personal strengths and skills.

You can always edit these preferences in the steps of the activity.
