Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

VU Amsterdam Canvas LMS API

Instructure Canvas deployed for VU Amsterdam at canvas.vu.nl. The Canvas REST API is live and credential-gated — GET /api/v1/accounts returns HTTP 401 with a JSON body — and the sign-in page renders. The contract is Instructure's and is catalogued against Instructure; recorded here only as the institution's learning-platform tenancy. Canvas's LTI certification is Instructure's, not VU's, and is deliberately not recorded as institutional conformance.
