Used by +150 educations
Enhance academic and social engagement with streamlined group work, saving you time and energy while increasing student wellbeing.
Here’s an overview of our service
The service can be tailored to your education-specific needs and used for all types of group work and collaboration.
1
Easy online self setup
An educator or other admin accesses an education-specific coordination file in which you add relevant information for group formation, such as deadlines, grouping size, and tailored questions. The fully customizable questionnaire gives you control over criteria and the ability to influence how students are allocated into groups.
2
Students completes a short questionnaire
Share a link with your students for a 10-minute questionnaire that includes tailored questions, expectation questions, and competency statements. We'll identify students who have not completed it and either randomly assign them to groups or remind them to do so.

The algorithm analyzes
and creates optimal groups
Our algorithm analyses all answers and places students into balanced groups with diversity in demographics but equal expectations and different competencies because this has proven to optimize student's engagement and sense of belonging.
4
See, edit, and share groups from the admin portal
All groups are uploaded to our admin portal for viewing, editing, and sharing of groups with students. To share the groups, students are sent an email containing group details, such as member names, ice-breaker exercises, conflict resolution tips, and any additional tailored information. If needed, late-arriving students can also be manually added to a group on the portal.
5
Ongoing support for students and administrators
Unihelper offers continuous assistance to students and staff throughout the entire group formation process, from before to during and after. We provide practical tips and tricks for engagement, and we are always available to address any questions or challenges that may arise to maximize the benefits of group work.
6
Get insights into the student’s experience with the group work
Unihelper collects student feedback on group work through surveys, including a standard set of questions and the option for administrators to add their own. We summarize the key insights trends and discuss potential improvements for future group creations.
Unihelper allows unlimited group re-allocations, which helps students broaden their network and work with different people. This is usually done at the beginning of a semester or halfway through the semester.
Educators’ stories
“For the first time, I managed to have groups of the same size (as all the active students filled out the questions) and the groups worked really well. It also meant that I could concentrate on preparing the teaching and interacting with the students about the academic content instead of being preoccupied with making the groups"
