I have just published a beta version, of an open edx plugin app to integrate with discourse.  
It’s an indentical implementaion to [WP Discourse – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-discourse/) but instaed for wordpress its for Open edX LMS.

From the repo readme.md

> The purpose of this project is exactly the following:

> _You are using Open edX and you want to use [discourse.org](http://discourse.org) as place where learners and teachers can communicate. **But you don’t want the users to have two accounts, for the open edx and discourse forum** _
> 
> By using this plugin, you can let your Open edX utilize, the SSO (single-sign-on) of discourse, thus when users access the forum they will be redirected to the LMS to authticate, and then redirect back the forum if success.
