What does Google Docs do for you?
June 24, 2009
Hey everyone! I'm Stephanie, and I'm interning with the Google Marketing team this summer. This fall, I'll be a senior/grad student (it's complicated...) at Stanford working on my Master's thesis in Psychology. While I can't vouch for the majority of Psych students, I personally have become an avid
Docs
user over the past three years. As a researcher, always knowing I have the most updated spreadsheet is key; as an RA last year, forms allowed our residents to RSVP without a huge chain of emails; and as an everyday student, collaborating on group projects in real time has been essential.
Given my connection to Docs, I am thrilled at the opportunity to start my Google summer internship centered on college student usage of Docs. As part of my internship, I'm trying to learn about students' experiences with Docs so that the Docs team can better address student needs.
Whether you enjoy the convenience of collaborating with group members in real time, accessing your documents from any computer, or something completely different, there's something that draws you to Docs. That said, there are probably things you wish were different; many students don't use Docs, or only use them in some cases. For instance, while I like to back up my personal documents in Docs, I know the wireless connection in my dorm is so spotty that it's just easier to save to the hard drive.
That's where you come in. I have my own uses for Docs, but I would love to hear how other college students are using them.
To find out, we're going to be conducting some short interviews to hear about your experiences. If you're interested in participating, simply fill out
this
form
, and we'll be in touch.
Your contributions will be extremely valuable in helping us reach those students who don't yet use Docs, and improve your current Docs experience. Later this summer, we'll be following up to share some of the things we've learned from you.
* update: As of 1:10pm we are already overwhelmed with responses! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, and we look forward to learning about your experience with Docs. We'll let you know if we need more participants.
