How to use the Group Work Role Generator.
Group roles should support the learning task and rotate where appropriate. Avoid assigning one learner all the thinking while others handle only materials.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Assign roles that contribute to the shared learning task and define what each person will do. Preserve responsibility for understanding across the group and consider rotation so roles do not permanently divide thinking from presentation or materials.

Example input
Four learners investigate a data table.
Completed example
Roles: question lead, evidence checker, recorder and presenter, with everyone responsible for explaining the group's conclusion.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should one learner do all the analysis while others handle supplies?
Distribute meaningful participation and require everyone to explain the conclusion. Roles should support collaboration rather than isolate the learning.
Why do assigned roles fail to produce balanced participation?
Make actions and handoffs explicit, then check whether each role has a real contribution to the task.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
