Definitionen
In effect the Resident has a presence online which they are constantly developing while the Visitor logs on, performs a specific task and then logs off.
Von David S. White im Text Not 'Natives' & 'Immigrants' but 'Visitors' & 'Residents' (2008) The resident is an individual who lives a percentage of their life online. The web supports the projection of their identity and facilitates relationships. These are people who have an persona online which they regularly maintain. This persona is normally primarily in a social networking sites but it is also likely to be in evidence in blogs or comments, via image sharing services etc The Resident will of course interact with all the practical services such as banking, information retrieval and shopping etc but they will also use the web to socialise and to express themselves. They are likely to see the web as a worthwhile place to put forward an opinion. They often use the web in all aspects of the of their lives; professionally, for study and for recreation. In fact the resident considers that a certain portion of their social life is lived out online. The web has become a crucial aspect of how they present themselves and how they remain part of networks of friends or colleagues.
Von David S. White im Text Not 'Natives' & 'Immigrants' but 'Visitors' & 'Residents' (2008) Residents, on the other hand, see the Web as a place, perhaps like a park or a building in which there
are clusters of friends and colleagues whom they can approach and with whom they can share
information about their life and work. A proportion of their lives is actually lived out online where the
distinction between online and off–line is increasingly blurred. Residents are happy to go online simply
to spend time with others and they are likely to consider that they ‘belong’ to a community which is
located in the virtual. They have a profile in social networking platforms such as Facebook or Twitter
and are comfortable expressing their persona in these online spaces. To Residents, the Web is a place
to express opinions, a place in which relationships can be formed and extended. While they use ‘tools’
such as online banking and shopping systems they also use the Web to maintain and develop a digital
identity. Since they also undertake many of the activities that Visitors do, their residency is an
additional layer of interaction and activity. When Residents log off, an aspect of their persona remains.
This could be in many forms ranging from status updates to social networking platforms, to artefacts in
media sharing sites or opinions expressed in blog posts or blog comments.
Von David S. White, Alison Le Cornu im Text Visitors and Residents (2011) Bemerkungen
This Visitor, Resident distinction is useful when considering which technologies to provide for online learners. For example if your learners are mainly Visitors they are unlikely to take advantage of any feed based system for aggregated information you may put in place. They are also unlikely to blog or comment as part of a course. The Resident will expect to have the opportunity to offer opinions on topics and to socialise around a programme of study. In fact they are likely to find ways of doing this even if they are not ‘officially’ provided. We offered membership of a facebook group to our students as they left their online courses. The majority signed-up without question as they wanted to stay in touch with fellow students and continue discussions. The remainder saw the group as pointless and a possible invasion of privacy. Both sides of this argument are correct… It’s a question of approach and motivation, hence Visitors and Residents.
