Google Classroom Authentication Plug in

Many teachers across the US are avid moodle users, admins, and have used and installed mooodle for years. School districts in conjunction with State departments of education have mandated the use of google classroom as the official  Psudo-"LMS" that teachers must use. Add ons / integrations / extensions such as Formative, BookWidgets, edmodo, Actively learn are essentially secondary LMS systems that integrate wtih google classroom and allow authentication via google classroom.

My question is can we/I write a plugin for moodle that would allow authentication via google classroom. I am aware there is already an LTI integration but I would like to have a way students could access moodle through google classroom. This would not violate most school districts technology policy requiring Google classroom be used to access online course material.

Surely this is exactly what LTI does? Why do you think that is not the answer?

I have not yet had time to look into this but I thought the LTI that the other forums mention was being used to push grades into moodle, I did not realize it could also pass users via Google classroom auth into moodle. I will research this more.
