Questions about the group generator
What happens when the class does not divide evenly?
The extra students are spread one per group, so no group has more than one person more than another.
Are the names sent anywhere?
Only if you save the list to your account. Otherwise it is kept in this browser only, and clearing it or the browser's site data removes it.
Can the groups play a quiz as teams?
Yes, with Sheelon Pro: a team game splits the players into teams and adds up each team's score. On the free plan the whole class plays one live quiz, up to 50 players.
