Who We Are
RandomGroupGenerator.net is a free online tool designed to split names into groups and teams quickly and fairly.
Our story: We built this tool after seeing how awkward and time-consuming manual team selection can be in classrooms, youth sports, workshops, and small events. The goal was simple: give people a quick way to create fair groups without arguments, spreadsheets, or last-minute reshuffling.
The tool was built by an independent developer who wanted a faster way to create fair groups. We are software developers, not certified educators — so for our guides we rely on published cooperative learning research and clearly cite our sources so you can verify them yourself.
The idea came from watching teachers spend ten minutes of class time counting off students or asking for volunteers. We thought: this should take ten seconds, not ten minutes. So we built a tool that does exactly that — paste names, click a button, and you have fair groups ready to go.
We are not a large company. We are a small, independent project. We respond to every email, read every piece of feedback, and update the tool and our guides regularly based on that feedback.
Our Team
Content & Editorial
RandomGroupGenerator.net is an independent project. Our guides are researched and written by our team, with citations to peer-reviewed cooperative learning research. We are software developers, not certified educators - so we rely on published research (such as the work of Johnson & Johnson, Kagan, and Slavin) rather than personal teaching credentials, and we clearly cite our sources so you can verify them yourself.

Editorial Standards
RandomGroupGenerator.net publishes a focused set of guides about grouping decisions, classroom use, balanced teams, and practical ways to split names into groups.
- Research-backed content: Our guides reference established research on cooperative learning, including work by Johnson & Johnson (1999) on positive interdependence, Kagan's structural approach to cooperative learning (2009), and Slavin's work on student team learning (1995).
- Tool-aligned guidance: Every guide is reviewed against the live workflow on RandomGroupGenerator.net to ensure accuracy.
- Scenario-first writing: We write for real use cases such as classrooms, workshops, team activities, and event setup.
- Clear updates: Articles are revised every 3 months or when the product changes or when guidance needs clarification.
- Narrow scope: We focus on grouping topics that are directly connected to the tool instead of publishing unrelated filler content.
The RandomGroupGenerator.net Editorial Team creates and reviews these guides so readers can choose the right grouping method quickly and use the tool with fewer mistakes. Content is reviewed by our team for accuracy, clarity, and alignment with the cited research. Every article goes through the following process:
- Research: The author reviews current literature on cooperative learning and classroom grouping strategies.
- Drafting: The article is written with practical scenarios, step-by-step instructions, and research citations.
- Review: A second editor reviews the content for accuracy, clarity, and completeness.
- Verification: All tool-related instructions are tested against the live RandomGroupGenerator.net workflow.
- Publication: The article is published with clear date stamps and revision history.
