You can easily skip or set aside tables during random table arrangements.
Instructions
- Click the Tables tab.
- Click the Seating arrangement drop-down menu.
- Select Random Arrangement Tablesize.
- Use the slider to choose the number of learners per table. (TAs won’t be moved to a different table.)
- If you want to skip or set aside certain tables, use the slider to select the tables.
- Click Confirm.
Note: The number of tables to skip corresponds to the first nine tables in the classroom, left to right. If you choose to skip 1 table, no learners will be assigned to Table 1. If you choose to skip 2 tables, no learners will be assigned to Table 1 or Table 2. TAs are not affected by random table arrangements, and if they are placed at a skipped table, they will remain at the table, but no other learners will be assigned to that table.
When to Use:
- When you have support individuals, such as teaching assistants, administrative staff, or mentors who will not take part in table activities
- When you have a dedicated support table, with TAs who you’d like to remain seated at that table
- When you have someone observing your teaching and you’d like them to go to a set table so you can join and discuss their observations while learners work at their tables
- When you have guests who you would like to place at one table so you can join the table and discuss content while learners work in groups
- When you have guests who you would like to remain at one table so you can easily add them to a panel or ask them to join the podium
