# E-learning training

E-learning makes it possible to train remotely, at scale. But you still need modules that capture attention and drive retention. Video, well designed, is one of the most effective formats.

## What is e-learning training?

E-learning refers to remote, online training, often asynchronous: learners train whenever they want, wherever they want. It complements face-to-face rather than replacing it, and makes it possible to train quickly, continuously and at scale.

## The role of video in e-learning

Among the e-learning formats (text, quizzes, interactive modules), video stands out: it combines text, image and voice, anchors the explanation and aids memorisation. But it still needs to be designed pedagogically, not merely filmed.

## Micro-learning: the format that works

Short, targeted modules — [micro-learning](/en/micro-learning/) — outperform long e-learning modules in engagement and memorisation. One objective per module, available on demand.

## Producing e-learning video at scale

The main blocker for e-learning video remains production. Hoctav removes it: from your corpus, you generate structured modules ([Hoctav method](/en/methode/)) with voice-over and subtitles, exportable and [integrable with your LMS](/en/integration-lms/).

## E-learning and compliance

For regulatory training (GDPR, safety, HSE), e-learning video makes it possible to deliver a consistent message and update it quickly, with [European hosting](/en/hebergement-europe/).
