Both events look at the use of IT in teaching and learning, but employ
different methods of approaching the issues. 'Shock of the Old 2' (a

debates, round-table discussions, and plenary speakers. Whilst 'Shock of
the Old 2' has HE as its main focus, 'Beyond Chalk' looks at IT in
education across all sectors: primary, secondary, FE, HE, and lifelong
learning.
