Good Evening, I'm curious if anyone has used this type of format as an opportunity to teach students about how they appear online and how to present themselves knowing that it is often a tool used by hiring managers to research and find out what kind of person you are and the activities you take part in?

Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to do guest speakers in an online format?
Does anyone have any suggestions for a late assignment policy when it comes to adult learners? I teach for an institution that consists primarily of non-traditional learners and find that the challenges they face are not the same as traditional students. This can include anything from sick children to homelessness. I don't want to discourage them as they are already at risk for dropping out.
