Information and Communication Overload: Can DigComp Help?
Abstract
Information and communication overload have gained a new dimension in today's digital world. The exposure to the volume of information being distributed has probably never been so high due to the rapid increase of communication channels at our disposal. Facing great volumes of information (and communication channels) may cause constraints in our personal and professional lives and therefore it requires the ability to deal with and solve the problems related with them. This chapter presents the DigComp, a tool that proposes a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are part of digital competence, one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and essential for participation in our increasingly digitalised society. It takes the stance that the DigComp may work as a foundation for “calculating” the boundaries of that so-called overload. The intention is to find in this tool the right ally to gauge the acquisition of competences that will make any user more critically aware and proactive towards the ways s/he deals with communication and information in her/his daily routines.
