Susan R. Rakow, Ph.D.

Clinical Assistant Professor
Coordinator of Gifted and Talented Program
College of Education and Human Services
I love to teach. That’s what I do and that’s who I am. Online learning provides a relatively new way of approaching education and as a teacher I want to figure out how to be good at it. Most people who are teaching online care about their subject matter and are excited that there are new tools out there that can help them better educate their students. And they should embrace those new technologies and move forward with them. It’s not easy but there is so much support here at Cleveland State for online
learning, both for faculty and for students that people can do it. Click here for more

Assistant Professor
Nance College of Business Administration
Online learning is phenomenal at addressing the needs of the business, working, and non-traditional student. Many of my students can’t be in a face-to-face class because they work full-time, travel a lot or have other problems preventing them from being able to attend in-person.

This is where the online learning platform comes in and adapts to different life situations and learners. It allows me the flexibility to allow them to continue working in a course and to not lose any ground compared to their classmates. For example, I am in touch with them at odd hours. If they email me at 11 at night, and I’m right by my laptop, I’ll email them back right there and then. Click here for more
