Queen's University Belfast

Queen's University Belfast Canvas LMS deployment (Instructure tenancy)

The Queen's Canvas virtual learning environment, reachable at canvas.qub.ac.uk. The Canvas REST API responds on the QUB hostname (an unauthenticated GET /api/v1/courses returns 401 "user authorisation required"), and the tenancy publishes a live LTI 1.3 platform JWKS and an OpenID Connect discovery document — real, machine-readable LTI conformance at a QUB address. The platform is Instructure's: canvas.qub.ac.uk CNAMEs to qub-vanity.instructure.com, and web sign-in federates to Microsoft Entra SAML. Recorded as a tenancy; no Canvas contract is kept here.
