The Art Students League is proud to be launching e-telier™, our new program of online classes designed to provide an art education founded on The League’s studio-based practices to students anywhere in the world. e-telier™ is powered by the Canvas, a leading Learning Management system used by art schools and universities around the world. Below is a description of Canvas and information about how League students will access it.
For any questions regarding Canvas and your League class, please email [email protected]
What is Canvas?
Canvas is a Learning Management System, a tool used by schools throughout the country to support and organize online learning. Canvas is the leading LMS in colleges and universities and a prominent provider to K-12 schools and community colleges. Canvas serves 6,000 institutions—including other leading art schools like RISD and Parsons—and has 30 million users.
Why is The League using Canvas?
The League is investing in a Learning Management System (LMS) in order to enhance our online classes for students, make the classes easier to deliver and administer, and help us continue to attract students from around the country and around the world to expand The League’s community of artists.
For example, Canvas will help students and instructors easily access Zoom class links, share files, and communicate with each other—all in one place. Canvas will not replace ZOOM. You will still have your regular live, interactive classes each week on Zoom, but Canvas will be a place where all the other aspects of an online class can be organized.
Will my class be using it?
Our goal is have all classes using Canvas in June. In May, seven classes will be implementing Canvas.

How do I sign up for Canvas?

3) Click on the blue link in that email. You will reach a webpage that says “Welcome Aboard!” This shows that your Login ID for Canvas will be your email address and you can set own your password.
