University of Birmingham

Canvas virtual learning environment (Instructure tenancy)

canvas.bham.ac.uk is the University's virtual learning environment, an Instructure Canvas tenancy — the hostname CNAMEs to birmingham-vanity.instructure.com. Canvas ships an LTI platform and an LMS REST API, but both are Instructure's contract running under a Birmingham vanity hostname, and access is gated behind institutional login. Recorded as a tenancy; no Instructure contract is saved under this institution and no LTI conformance is claimed on Birmingham's behalf.
