Extension summary

UQ has updated its Blackboard UI to something that doesn't feel great to use (animations and inability to open multiple tabs easily) and the link to the previous UI no longer has methods of navigating to courses and to the homepage.

This extension builds on the old UI by adding back the header and course list.
