Hi Ellen,
I would agree with Bill and encourage that you use other attributes to separate the groups such as exposure to prior learning in the subject, schools they have attended, where the are from, etc.  Many of us tend to stay away from using learning styles in the team building exercises (some have also used Myers Briggs, but that may also not be a good predictor of team cohesion). 

Cheers
Charles
