# Instructure Canvas
## Context data
The UDP uses the [Canvas Data product](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10838-4214449046) (whose [data schema is publicly available](https://portal.inshosteddata.com/docs)) as the basis for the context data integration. Because the data integration is fully-managed, academic institutions need not write a data integration from Canvas that conforms with the LMS loading schema. This conformance already exists in the UDP's integration. Unizin maintains a [mapping](https://docs.udp.unizin.org/ucdm/canvas-to-ucdm.html) of Canvas Data to the [LMS loading schema](https://docs.udp.unizin.org/context-data/html/lms-2.0.html).
If your institution uses Instructure Canvas, then integrating context data from Canvas to your UDP instance is a simple configuration. In particular, you will need to [create a Canvas Data API key and secret](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-obtain-an-API-access-token-in-the-Canvas-Data-Portal/ta-p/157) and configure the UDP to use them.
## Behavior data
Instructure’s [Canvas Live Events](https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-14182-4214848302) service offers real-time behavioral data in the 1EdTech Caliper standard.
At present, the UDP supports Canvas's JWT-based method of integrating Canvas Live Events with a learning record store. Canvas may also call this the "HTTPS"-based integration method. Canvas administrators will configure a new data stream from the administration panel in Canvas. This data stream will point to the hostname for their UDP Caliper endpoint.
### Configure and activate an HTTPS data stream
Only Canvas admins may configure an HTTPS data stream in Instructure Canvas. Broadly speaking, you will follow [Instructure’s instructions for setting up HTTPS](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-configure-and-test-Canvas-Live-Events-using-HTTPS/ta-p/151).
In the Admin tools section of Canvas, select `Data Services`:
Now "`+Add`" a new Data Stream:
You will need to set the following variables:
| Variable | Value |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Name | *Whatever you wish*. |
| Active | *Turned on*. |
| Delivery method | HTTPS |
| URL | *The hostname for your UDP Caliper endpoint* |
| Sign Payload | *Checked* |
| Message type | Caliper 1.1 |
Unizin strongly recommends that you subscribe to all available Canvas Live Events.
So that a completed configuration might look like this:
