Sussex's virtual learning environment, an Instructure Canvas deployment on the university's own hostname canvas.sussex.ac.uk, which CNAMEs to universityofsussex-vanity.instructure.com. The Canvas REST API answers on this host — /api/v1/accounts returns 401 {"status":"unauthenticated"} — and the LTI 1.3 platform keyset at /api/lti/security/jwks returns a live JWKS, which is the university's only confirmed Learning Tools Interoperability evidence. The deployment is Sussex's; the API contract is Instructure's and is not saved under this slug.
