KEY TRENDS

•The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators.

•Collection-related rich media are becoming increasingly valuable assets in digital interpretation

•Cross-institution collaboration is growing as an important way to share resources.

•Digitization and cataloguing projects continue to require a significant share of museum resources

•Expectations for civic and social engagement are profoundly changing museums' scope, reach, and relationships.

•Increasingly, visitors and staff expect a seamless experience across devices.

•Many of the trends and technologies listed separately are interdependent, and thisconvergence' is only going to continue and increase.

•More and more, people expect to be able to work, learn, study, and connect with their social networks wherever and whenever they want to.

SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES

•Boards of Trustees and executive management too often do not recognize the importance of technology in generating financial or mission return on investment.

•A comprehensive digital strategy has become a critically important part of planning for longterm institutional sustainability.

•Content production has failed to keep up with technology in an era when audiences expect to consume information whenever and wherever they want.

•Funding for technology projects, even those for interpretation and exhibition, continues to fall outside core operational budgets.

•Greater understanding is needed of the relationships, differences, and synergies between technology that is intended to be used within the museum and public-facing technology such as websites, social media, and mobile apps.

•Museum educators do not have the training, resources or support to address the technological opportunities and challenges they face.
