Hi Chris,
It would be best to know the needs you have and what pains are you trying to solve before putting together the right mix of learning methods.
Technology per se should not be the focus of instructional designer / L&D professional. It is merely a tool. And some learning needs are more efficiently met by learning experiences that don’t involve technology.
Based on the assumption that you are building a general pool of “what’s out there”, here are two learning trends backed by technology.
Social learning - making sure you create a culture of learning through sharing. Learning happens during social interaction at work. Technologically speaking, make sire your LMS or e-learning platform has a forum active, that people can see and comment each other’s assignments for example. Also, you might want to check Working Out Loud for this topic.
Employee generated learning - having your subject matter experts create content for your your employees, or managers for their teams. You can publish content at a faster rate, create content that is relevant right now and keeping it up-to-date. As a tool, check Easygenerator or Talent Soft (they have an app called Skillcatch witch allows every user to make and edit short instructional videos with their mobile)
Cheers,
