Group generator.
Generate random groups for the classroom. Exclude combinations, save history. Based on Kagan (1994).
Add at least 2 names to generate groups.
Evidence: Cooperative learning with heterogeneous groups is associated with better academic performance and peer relationships (Johnson & Johnson, 2009); Kagan (1994) describes the working structures. Rotating groups at random aims to stop cliques from settling and to have everyone work with everyone; it is a design choice of the tool, not a study result. Grouping history ensures combinations don't repeat.
