So, we have come to the end of the first topic in the module Living and Working on the Web (#UOSM2008). We were given a task to explain the concept of Digital \u201cVisitor\u201d and \u201cResident\u201d based on our readings and personal online experience. Having read others blogs and comments for my own one there are few things that I need to clarify in order to summarize the topic:<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

  1. First and the most significant one is that I should not mix up definitions as I did in my first paragraph with Prensky (2011) and White (2011), because I just thought that they can be used interchangeably. Apparently it isn’t.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Secondly, as I have mentioned in my blog, the division of people into ‘Residents’ and ‘Visitors’ is not precise and there is a huge gap in the middle. And as one of my classmates (Kimberly) have mentioned in my comments: “this concept forms a continuum to which people can find themselves in between the two, and showing some attributes from each entity”.<\/span> To support this, I can give an example from an article I had pleasure to read and which was sent to me by one of my classmates (Jazmin). This was Horrigans (2007), which had this idea that people are divided into 10 groups according their level of activity online:<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
    In conclusion, I’m still of the opinion that this concept is far too narrow and needs more groups, or even sub-groups to describe the variety of users online. Idea of Horrigans (2007) replicates much deeper insight of this concept (See the picture above). <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Overall, this was my first blog, and I hope that people have enjoyed reading it, because I actually, enjoyed writing it :). Looking forward to see the next task.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
