A category page should shorten the decision, not make you try every tool. Write down the required output first, then compare input data, privacy needs, file format, reversibility, and the cost of checking the result. Similar names can describe different stages of a workflow, so choose by task boundary.
Choose Random Student Picker when
Pick students fairly at random, with no-repeat until everyone has had a turn, for balanced classroom participation. This is the stronger fit when the input is defined and that output is the actual goal. Before real work, use a small sample to confirm fields, units, interaction, and download format.
Switch to Seating Chart when
Plan classroom seating from a student list to quickly produce a seating chart for term or exams. If your problem is closer to this description, do not force the first-ranked option. Compare required source material, whether content is transformed, and whether the result remains editable.
Use Class Group Generator for a third decision path
Quickly create random groups for class activities by group count or size, saving time and avoiding bias. This option is a reminder that the task may need a different output type. After choosing, read that page’s limits and verification method, then test the result in the actual destination.
