Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Forms is one of the most used tools of the Google suite in our organization, its use is given both in the commercial area as in the operational part, daily our technical support analysts record the incidents and failures of each area of our IT infrastructure and in turn records the different affected equipment, this allows us to weigh and analyze in real time the impact with a simple crossing of data in a pivot table, this process was manual and with the implementation of Google Forms saved us diagnostic time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for an online division of a community college as an instructional designer. We often use Google Forms in our work. Our college subscribes to the Google Suite of Apps for educators and so using Google is easy for us. We have a feedback survey embedded in all our online courses called Instructor Feedback that allows us to capture feedback in real-time about what is working in our courses and what is not. When we need people to sign up for events, we use Google Forms. It has a lot of uses in academia for collecting data informally.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Besides the easy integration of your google account with Google Forms, it is very easy to create a form for your specific goal and launch it as well. Google Forms [is a] definite advantage to being able to compile a list of questions while expecting a large number of answers [to be] organized in real-time. The fact that it is so quick and easy makes [the software] enjoyable to use. Whether you are a tech geek or a tech newbie, you can easily use Google Forms.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Students in technical writing and other user research classes often use Google Forms to build surveys. Also, colleagues use Google Forms to gather feedback for peer review of scholarly articles. It helps to gather feedback from a wide range of people. One big attribute is that it is easy to use and easy for students and other academic users to distribute.
