This application includes the following main features:

- Creating a list of classes the teacher works with.

- Entering student names in appropriate classes.

- Automatic creating groups within a class for collaboration.

The joining of students in groups for collaboration is one of the most advanced educational technologies. Performing various educational tasks with classmates, students acquire not only educational knowledge, but also experience in communicating with other people, the experience of joint search and acquisition of new knowledge. In addition, modern studies show that at first knowledge exists in an external form. This external form of knowledge exists in the form of communication between people with each other. And then it is transformed into an internal form and become knowledge of an individual person. These results show the importance of communication between students in the learning process, and groups for collaboration are a great way to organize such communication.

Various criteria can be used to create collaborative groups within a class. For example, most often students form a single group with approximately the same level of training in the subject. In other cases, for example, in programming classes, on the contrary, several students are with an initial level of training, and one more trained student who can help others as a tutor can be included in one group. In turn, in classes for studying English or a foreign language, students can be united by the presence of the same language or, conversely, students who speak different languages can be combined into one group. In each case, the teacher determines the criterion by which cooperative groups are formed.

In some cases, the criterion for grouping either does not play a role, or we just try to mix people of different abilities, or else the principle of diversity of communication experience is used as such a criterion. So, the main task in such cases is the opportunity for students to communicate with different people.

In these cases, a random criterion is most often used. For example, a teacher asks students to name numbers in order from 1 to 6, then all who have number 1 are combined in the first group, students with number 2 are combined in the second group, etc.

At the same time, sometimes the process of creating collaborative groups takes some time and can be tiring for the teacher to come up with a new procedure each time to divide students into groups.

The Teacher Group Maker application automates this routine process and allows the teacher to quickly create collaborative groups based on random selection.

To do this, the teacher enters in the application the names of the classes with which he works and the names of students in the corresponding classes.

The very procedure of creating collaborative groups in the application is simple and consists of two actions - the teacher selects the class and selects the size of the group. For example, in one of the lessons, the teacher would like to form cooperative groups of 3 people, in the other - 4, in the third - 2, etc.

After choosing the class and group size, the application automatically creates collaborative groups.

The Teacher Group Maker application is simple and convenient. It does not include redundant functions and performs only one main task - the formation of groups within the classroom to perform collaborative tasks.
