Victoria University of Wellington

Nuku Learning Management (Instructure Canvas tenancy)

Nuku is the university's brand for its learning-management system, an Instructure Canvas tenant at nuku.wgtn.ac.nz, which CNAMEs to wgtn-vanity.instructure.com. The Canvas REST API is present and live at /api/v1 — an anonymous call returns HTTP 401 {"status":"unauthenticated","errors":[{"message":"user authorisation required"}]} rather than a 404 — and requires a Canvas OAuth2 token issued to a VUW account. Browser sign-on redirects to the university's Microsoft Entra ID tenant via SAML. Canvas is an IMS LTI 1.3 platform, but that conformance is Instructure's, not the university's, and the contract is not saved here.
