Using image maps and interactive whiteboard technology to communicate

There are many ways that material can be presented on a website to make it easy for people to navigate. The use of image maps, where specific parts of a picture are turned into hyperlinks to other pages containing relevant information, is one way of presenting material in a graphical manner that many people find quite intuitive and simple to follow. In cases where it is necessary to review the progress of a company project with various members of staff, a technology that allows notes to be made on the material being displayed to the employees involved is very useful. Instead of having to write a report of the meeting after it has taken place, project managers have the option of using an interactive whiteboard, which enables them to display images from remote computers and write notes on existing files as discussions take place.

These notes could then be linked to from an image map on the company website that can be reviewed by staff that were unable to be present at the meeting, saving all concerned a lot of time and hassle. Such maps can either be created by writing HTML tags or by using a simple piece of software that creates the code itself. Touch screens make the process of using such technology in meetings a lot easier and it is possible to engage the services of a company that specialises in the installation of this type of equipment to ensure that every part works as it should.
