UT Austin runs Canvas behind your UT EID and Duo
UT Austin's LMS is Canvas at utexas.instructure.com, with its info portal at canvas.utexas.edu. The Canvas login page shows a "Sign in with your UT EID" button that hands off to UT's central Enterprise Authentication, where you enter your UT EID and password and then clear a Duo multi-factor prompt.

UT Austin FAQ
You approve one Duo prompt — a push, phone call, or passcode — when the session starts. Duo is used campus-wide at UT, and UT recommends enrolling at least two devices; the trusted session then persists, so you are not re-prompted on every run.
Yes. Whether you come in through UT's Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) or transfer credit through the Texas Common Course Numbering System, Silent Student also covers the other Texas schools we have pages for: Texas A&M (also Canvas, with NetID and Duo) and Blinn College (eCampus, which is D2L Brightspace). Austin Community College is a major regional transfer source for UT, so your queue is covered before and after you transfer.
Leave the lid up and stay on power. Silent Student is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs your queue in the background after you connect once, and it holds your machine awake while work is still in the queue.
