Abstract
A computer-implemented method and a computer program product for optimizing groupings in a breakout session in a virtual classroom. A computer retrieves profiles of students in the virtual classroom, where the profiles of the students include data of academic performances of the students. The computer retrieves a known correspondents archive which includes historic data of productivities correlated to interactions among the students. In response to initialization of the breakout session in the virtual classroom, the computer determines optimal groups that yield most productive results, based on the profiles of the students, the known correspondents archive, and requirements of group settings given by an instructor, using a machine learning model. The computer provides the instructor with the optimal groups. In another embodiment, the computer analyzes context of customized assignments for the breakout session and determines the optimal groups further based on the context to the customized assignments.
