So this was my face when I first heard Visitors and Residents:
WHAT??
Well this thing about visitors and residents is according to David S. White and Alison Le Cornu in his article: Visitors and Residents is: “A new typology for online engagement: Visitors and Residents is a simple way of describing the range of ways individuals can engage with the Web. It’s a continuum of ‘modes of engagement’ not two distinct categories.”
So basically we analyzed the applications we used daily with the help of our guest speakers Autumm Caines , Bonnie Stewart and Sundi Richard, it was very interesting to see all the different vandr(visitors and residents)schemes that came out with everyone in the classroom.
A vandr scheme it’s composed by 4 categories: personal, professional, visitor or resident, when you put some app in visitor it means that you only are there to watch or hear things in the app, but basically you don’t contribute to anything in that app or site, and in the other hand (resident) you are there, in that site or app to contribute with anything to society, you can classify it in two categories, personal or professional, personal means that you use it only for personal interest (like social media) and professional you use it only for work or school.
It was interesting to think where to put every app that we use, this activity was fun, also Autumm, Bonnie and Sundi where very helpful and was easier to understand what visitors and residents means.
Here’s a picture of my scheme:
Until tomorrow…
