Browsers Used to Access GAFE
Students identified the browser they used to access GAFE, a choice that may impact the product’s usability. Google’s own browser, Chrome, is “designed from the ground up to optimize the Google Apps for Education suite of products” and Google recommends using Internet Explorer for running “legacy apps” (Google, n.d.a). Data in Table 5 and Figure 4 showed fairly even distribution among student browser preferences to access GAFE, with Chrome garnering the most uses, possibly as a result of one of the authors modeling its use.
