We asked Rackley a few questions. His answers are below:
STUKENT COURSEWARE
I have used the Stukent Digital Marketing Essentials text and Mimic Pro simulation for the past three years for the digital marketing course we teach here at OSU. It is an upper-division, undergrad elective course.
DIGITAL MARKETING TEACHING TIPS
- Make every effort to learn each student’s name: it’s a gateway to better engagement.
- Start every class with something fun: I have “trivia of the day.”
- Spend the time to find recent examples of the things you teach to make the concepts real.
HOBBIES AND TALENTS
My hobbies or talents include reading and writing. I always have my nose in a book, usually non-fiction/historical. I love the outdoors, particularly the mountains (yet I live in Oklahoma — go figure). I escape to the Rockies every chance I get!
Rackley stands on the summit of Mt. Royal in Frisco, Colorado.
