LMS integration and Jupyterhub

[IT Guy]

Hello, 

I am seeing if anyone has succesfully integrated jupyterhub with and LMS providers specifically Quercus.  I'm assuming its using an API or something.  

I am just doing some investigative work for integration with Quercus

It depends on what kind of integration you want. 

The easiest is to use something called LTI (learning tools inter-operability). This allows a student to login to a JupyterHub setup through their LMS and have credentials (name, email, etc) provided by the LMS.

This is a standard jupyterhub extension ( https://github.com/jupyterhub/ltiauthenticator ) although I haven't used it.

The challenge here is that students would need to access JupyterHub "through" the LMS.

LTI provides other capabilities such as passing back grades, etc but I don't think this extension does any of that.

I couldn't find much info on Quercus but most LMS's support LTI, including Canvas, Moodle, EdX, etc. Details in the github repo for setting it up.
