This comparative cultural study examines differences in digital citizenship between undergraduate information literacy students at two different, but similar, universities across the globe from each other. Under the notion that the internet and prevalence of mobile devices allow students to participate online as digital citizens in ways that were impossible before, we use mixed methods to compare the attitudes and experiences of undergraduate students at a university in the midwestern United States (U.S.), with a university on the southwestern coast of Ghana. We also examine the policies related to technology use at these schools. The findings indicate that Ghanaian students had higher levels of digital citizenship. Other findings suggest that network issues are a problem for students in both schools, especially for Ghana, and ethical aspects of internet use, like cyberbullying, hacking, and fake news, deter students from participating online as much as they would like.

数字公民的学生体验：比较文化研究

这项比较文化研究考察了全球两所不同但相似的大学本科信息素养学生在数字公民方面的差异。在互联网和移动设备的普及允许学生以以前不可能的方式作为数字公民在线参与的概念下，我们使用混合方法来比较美国中西部（US）一所大学本科生的态度和经历，在加纳西南海岸有一所大学。我们还研究了这些学校与技术使用相关的政策。调查结果表明，加纳学生的数字公民水平更高。其他调查结果表明，网络问题对两所学校的学生来说都是一个问题，特别是对于加纳，
