を通して (wo tooshite) shows that something is done through some means, or happens through some time period. On the surface it is quite similar to によって, but there is a subtle difference. によって has a TON of other meanings in addition to the meaning above. So, if you want to be very clear that what you mark is the means, not the indirect agent or something, then you should use を通して. It literally means “passing through ___”, so translates quite directly to the English “through”.
