Welcome Shuffle2

Shuffle2 is a small browser based tool to randomly partition a group of people into working groups. You may for instance need something like this, when doing workshops and want to do some practiceing in groups.

No installation required
Can define people to not put into one group.
MIT licensed

Using Shuffle2

To launch Shuffle2, just open the index.html file with your browser. The screen is divided into two tabs, Main and Options. You will have to set some options before starting to roll groups, so we'll start with that.

Options

You can enter a list of members you want to assign to groups and specify the group size. Members are entered one per line.
In addition you may specify that members should not be mixed into one group. This is accomplished by prefixing a member with a group name. Members with the same group here won't be mixed later. Here's an example:

Group1/John Doh

After entering the members and specifying the group size, click the apply button.

Main

The main screen shows the groups being empty. Click on the Shuffle button to assign members to groups.

Feel free to give me some feedback via info@aschommer.de.
