ELMS-Canvas — UMD learning management system

UMD's learning management system, an Instructure Canvas tenancy at umd.instructure.com fronted by elms.umd.edu. Requests to the tenancy redirect to UMD's own Shibboleth identity provider, which is what confirms the tenant relationship. Canvas' REST API and its LTI conformance are Instructure's, not UMD's, and are not creditable to the institution.
