I teach in higher ed and it has been my experience that these students are treated more as an adult and much less as a child.  Even though it is often abundantly clear that their age in years is not reflected in actual maturity.  I studied New Media in college and surprisingly, there were ver few if any guidelines or direction on how to be a responsible digital citizen.  I find this rather ironic given the nature of the major.

I have not addressed any digital citizenship practices in my course up to now.  Primarily because we do not engage in that arena within the context of my learning outcomes.  Now I an rethinking that maybe a small portion of time should be reserved to discuss how to be a responsible digital citizen and what resources are readily available to assist with that.

I believe that the universities have a responsibility to orient their students in an effort to help them become good students.  This would include how to be a good digital citizen along with exposure to all of the resources available to students to aid in their success.

I would like to see this area covered to some degree in every class.  If all teachers/professors/instructors are informed then there would be common ground to share with the students.
