Museums, MOOCs and MoMA: the future of digital education realised?

David Scott:

When pressed on what the main issues confronting educators in the 21st century are, Deborah Howes is unequivocal in her response. "The biggest challenge in looking ahead is letting go of familiar habits preventing you from reaching other audiences that expect and need to learn in different ways."

Ms Howes, the Director of Digital Learning at New York's iconic Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), is well placed to reflect on the future of education, particularly as it increasingly evolves - and involves - online.

MoMA's digital education offerings include seven fee-based courses (offered via their website) and, more recently, a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) offered via Coursera.
