Almost everything that matters to humans is derived from and through communication. Just because people communicate every day, however, does not mean that they are communicating competently. In fact, evidence indicates that there is a substantial need for better interpersonal skills among a significant proportion of the populace. Furthermore, "dark side" experiences in everyday life abound, and features of modern society pose new challenges that make the concept of communication competence increasingly complex. The Handbook of Communication Competence brings together scholars from across the globe to examine these various facets of communication competence, including its history, its essential components, and its applications in interpersonal, group, institutional, and societal contexts. The book provides a state-of-the-art review for scholars and graduate students, as well as practitioners in counseling, developmental, health care, educational, intercultural, and human resource management contexts, illustrating that communication competence is vital to health, relationships, and all collective human endeavors.

La pandèmia per COVID-19 ha sacsejat els fonaments de la nostra educació. Ens hem trobat amb la impossibilitat que el nostre alumnat pugui desplaçar-se als centres educatius, que han estat tancats a causa del confinament decretat en la majoria de països. De manera imprevista, les institucions educatives s’han vist obligades a adoptar solucions d’emergència, migrant cap a models de docència no presencial remota, que han permès parar el cop. A partir d’aquesta experiència, es comença a valorar si l’educació en línia pot ser una aliada vàlida que permeti el desenvolupament de solucions híbrides en els nostres sistemes educatius. La resposta és que sí, encara que el que s’ha fet fins ara no és, pròpiament, educació en línia. Aquest llibre presenta un seguit de propostes per millorar l’educació en línia i fer front a situacions futures de presencialitat discontínua que puguin donar-se, degudes a possibles nous confinaments, totals o parcials. Vol ser un instrument de suport per a tots els professionals de l’educació que necessiten o volen aprofitar al màxim el potencial transformador que ofereix l’educació en línia.
