Would not recommend mish mashing stuff like this. People who recommend
it don't know what they are committing to in terms of maintaining such a
monster. Do it all in Drupal, do it all in Moodle, or roll your own
system from scratch if you have the money. That's my view and what I
would recommend to a customer that wanted me to create such a
monstrosity.

Can it be done. Yes. Can it be easily maintained, I don't think so...
There are exceptions such as if you only need to integrate logins. But
creating a monster by combining multiple systems like this is not a good
idea IMO.
