Hi, our school currently uses Centra 's Virtual class for Distance Leaning,( www.centra.com) , at the same time we are using Moodle as course content management system. Students can use Centra to take their class , and use Moodle to submit assignment, check grade, activities ,forum discussion. Two system are totally separate. Can we add a new module to Moodle , then students can invoke Centra session from Moodle ? I mean they don't need another account to login Centra to take class, so that they can go to virtual classroom directly  from Moodle?

Does anyone have such experiences and would like to share with us?
 thank you very much!

It depends on how Centra implements its authentication. I've created some code for allowing Moodle users from one site to be automatically authenticated into a class at another Moodle site, or just to participate in some activity at the other site (e.g. a forum).  See the following discussion: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=18878

Perhaps you could adapt this to Centra <-> Moodle
