System and method for providing group learning via computerized student group assignments conducted based on student attributes and student-variable-related criteria

摘要

In certain implementations, group learning may be provided via computerized student group assignments. In an implementation, student information about students registered to take a course may be obtained. The student information may comprise attributes of the students that correspond to student variables. Group criteria information associated with the course may be obtained. The group criteria information may comprise first criteria indicating that a student group is to be diverse with respect to a first variable, and second criteria indicating that a student group is to be similar with respect to a second variable. The students may be assigned to student groups associated with the course based on the attributes, the first criteria, and the second criteria such that a student group associated with the course comprises a set of students that, as a whole, is diverse with respect to the first variable and similar with respect to the second variable.
