Mobile Media Innovation Module 3
Social & Mobile
Prepared for Scripps College of Communication by

Mobile Media Module
• The Mobile Media Module is designed as a two-week, broad-based study
on the mobile landscape that can be applied in many courses.
• The program was implemented at Ohio University’s Scripps College of
Communication to support our Scripps Innovation Challenge and to build
knowledge of the mobile landscape across our communication curricula.
• For implementation, we brought in an expert in mobile development to
teach in four existing classes over two weeks in Spring 2013. Faculty
teaching those classes became the students and built their capacity to
teach the material in subsequent semesters.
• By “hacking the curriculum” using the “module method,” we were able to
reach more than 500 students in one semester with new material.
• For more information, contact Dr. Michelle Ferrier, associate dean for
innovation, Scripps College of Communication, ferrierm@ohio.edu.
