I can't tell anyone how frustrating...Hi Sarah,<br /><br />I can't tell anyone how frustrating and disappointing the loss of Appointments is.<br /><br />I started using Appointments to schedule student meetings over the last year, and my experience has been very positive. I've found that *far* more students book meetings if they can do it online (rather than the old method of signing a paper list on my office door!). And, what's more, the attendance rate increased massively, too: 90% of my personal tutees attended meetings this year, which is a record.<br /><br />Many of my colleagues have started using Appointments, too, including allowing students to book slots in their office hours, rather than just having to turn up and wait their turn. Their experience is that this has increased students' willingness to make use of office hours.<br /><br />Those of us that have found Appointments useful are slowly convincing colleagues to give them a try, and with a good degree of success. One problem with Google’s pulling the function too early – aside from the fact that they just haven’t given the feature enough time to be widely adopted – is that it makes it more difficult for the innovators amongst us to convince colleagues of the value of trying new things in future. Suggestions become just another craze for the geeks that won’t last five minutes!<br /><br />I think the following sentence in your post is interesting: "I guess some of it is because they're always concentrating on their core stuff rather than the extra faffy, sometimes experimental stuff..." Google Apps is now being used by different communities: individuals, charities, SMEs, corporates, and educators. Each of these communities has different wants and needs. If Google focuses its development on just the features you describe as core, then it can produce a product that does some of the things that all the communities want. To be truly successful, though, some consideration needs to be given to features that might be popular with significant subsets of users, like those of us using Apps in Education. Google needs to listen to what users in the different markets want and to accommodate those needs alongside developing core functionality that's used by everyone. Ignoring this fact reduces the usefulness of Google’s products and the willingness of users to rely on them. Imagine if Microsoft decided to remove Pivot Tables from Excel, for instance, because 90% of users don’t even know what they are!<br /><br />For what it's worth, I've raised this with Google and asked that they reconsider their decision on removing appointments. Their Jordan Pedraza is collating feedback and trying to put forward our case, so if any of your readers would like to share their thoughts, I'd urge them to contact Jordan through Google+ ( +Jordan Pedraza) or via Twitter (@JordanPedraza). I've used the hashtag #savegoogleappointments for this purpose.<br /><br />GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
