Different channels of communication

Companies typically communicate with off-shore clients through e-mail or phone calls. Now, they can communicate through video conferencing, free online messaging, VOIP, and more. These platforms cost much less than the traditional overseas call. Brands can also reach out to their clients through social media channels.

One of the innovations changing classroom dynamics is the interactive whiteboard. Originally intended for business, the invention was well received by educators in the U.S., the U.K., and some parts of Asia. Combining the use of a traditional whiteboard and the ease of a tablet, teachers can now project their materials in an interactive manner.
