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 Visitor is an individual who uses the web as a tool in an organised manner whenever the need arises. They may book a holiday or research a specific subject. They may choose to use a voice chat tool if they have friends or family abroad. Often the Visitor puts aside a specific time to go online rather than sitting down at a screen to maintain their presence at any point during the day. They always have an appropriate and focused need to use the web but don’t ‘reside’ there. They are sceptical of services that offer them the ability to put their identity online as don’t feel the need to express themselves by participating in online culture in the same manner as a Resident.
Von David S. White im Text Not 'Natives' & 'Immigrants' but 'Visitors' & 'Residents' (2008) We propose that Visitors understand the Web as akin to an untidy garden tool shed. They have defined
a goal or task and go into the shed to select an appropriate tool which they use to attain their goal.
Task over, the tool is returned to the shed. It may not have been perfect for the task, but they are
happy to make do so long as some progress is made. This is important, since Visitors need to see some
concrete benefit resulting from their use of the platform. Significantly, Visitors are unlikely to have any
form of persistent profile online which projects their identity into the digital space. They are
anonymous, their activity invisible to all but the databases running the Web sites they use.

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.
