Ohio State University

Canvas LMS Tenancy

Ohio State's Canvas learning management system tenancy, branded Carmen. Canvas exposes an LTI-capable REST API, but that contract is Instructure's and every course-scoped call requires an Ohio State account, so nothing is saved under Ohio State's slug. Recorded because the tenancy is a real institutional fact and the SSO redirect evidences Ohio State's own IdP behind it.
