Support edX as OAuth provider
From @papajohn Data8 online uses EdX and not all students may have a Google account. Allow support for choosing either EdX or Google as the authentication provider with OK.
If you want to provide grades back to EdX, that requires that the user use EdX to login, right?
It looks like calls to an external grader service are invoked by the student on code/answer submission inside the EdX platform so they would need an EdX account to do that, yes. There isn't an API to update students' grades on the EdX platform that I know of.

I don't think it's necessary to use edX's gradebook for individual assignments — students can just check their progress on OK.
We will eventually need to indicate who passed the course and who did not within the edX system somehow, and for that we will need to track edX IDs.
