The key feature of EcoTrak is that besides vehicle tracking, it also provides data on actual fuel usage and carbon emissions with every journey. Reportedly, users of EcoTrak seem to experience about 7% fuel savings. The use of this new service gives fleet managers the ability to increase operational efficiency, reduce vehicle running costs and the time spent off-road.

That interactive whiteboards are extensively used by the education sector is widely known, but it looks like even the healthcare sector is finding uses for them. The e Health Insider reports that the Whiston Hospital is now using whiteboards in the training accorded to medical students and staff. The hospital is reportedly using 5 SMART whiteboards in its classrooms.
The use of these whiteboards apparently gives the trainers considerable flexibility in teaching highly complex subjects that hitherto required the use of several media. The hospital is also intending to use the enhanced audio and video capability of the whiteboard. Find out more about how the Whiston Hospital is making use of interactive whiteboards here.
