Well, there's no official relationship, if that's what you're asking. 
It's an application that has certain aspirations to be something, I 
guess you'd call it a platform, for the development of instructional 
services, and is fairly exotic by some standards with its technical 
choices (highly advanced Java, Server Faces, Spring/Hibernate, OKI, etc.)

Integration means a lot of things. Authentication wouldn't be much 
different than with CAS or anything else SSO-based, but there's also 
questions of attribute usage for provisioning and authorization that 
Shibboleth is more relevant for than other SSO systems.
