Here’s a cool resource by Jerome Mouneyrac (@mouneyrac) at Moodle, IT and me blog which provides the tools necessary for bringing Google Authentication to your Moodle site (just like Facebook Connect for Moodle). The Oauth2 Plugin for Moodle is Jerome’s first authentication plugin for Moodle 2.0 and you can see it working at a sample site to see just how easy registration can be if your users are Gmail/Google Apps users already.
- Download the plugin: https://github.com/mouneyrac/auth_googleoauth2
- Checkout the demo site: https://www.socialfutsal.com/futsal/login/ (click the Google logo to get started)
Unfortunately at the time of this posting the Module was not yet available at Moodle.org (but here’s the link just in case). While the addon is working, the service is currently in beta (use at your own risk).
