TEMPO
Teaching, Making & Performing Online
What we do
TEMPO is a team of creative researchers and faculty support, working in tandem with the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL).
Drawing upon our backgrounds in the fine arts, we offer creative pedagogical support to faculty members who are teaching online. We recommend innovative techniques, demonstrate how to use platforms for remote pedagogy, and provide connections to internal and external resources.
Faculty members can click below to access our online service desk and submit specific questions about teaching, making, and performing online.

We also offer 5-minute drop-ins at the beginning of the semester to give a short presentation of Zoom tips for students, to make your class sessions run more smoothly.
