[docs] Include links to Moodle Academy about devdocs HOT 5 CLOSED

One suggestion from @jgramp is to signpost relevant courses in a consistent way in docs pages, perhaps with relevant iconography.

I'd suggest that we could use a new JSX component with a JSON-defined list of courses so that we can centrally update any course and/or course description.

Having a central list also allows us to create a central course list based on that file.

That could look something like this:

Looks great Andrew.
How does this central list get populated with new courses?

The colours shown in the graphic look good. High contrast :) and I like the icon as it aligns with what we use for courses on academy.

Hi @jgramp,

How does this central list get populated with new courses?

At the moment it's via a data structure here: https://github.com/andrewnicols/dinodevdocs/blob/main/academyCourses.js

We can either keep it in here, or we can fetch that data from Moodle Academy. I've writte a short summary for each course, based upon the longer structure, to use as a popover help text. You can see that in action at https://andrewnicols.github.io/dinodevdocs/docs/apis/access.

I've tried to add extra metadata too, though we're not using it yet. My thinking was that we'd have a dedicated page (i.e. /study or /academy or maybe /course which would use the same metadata to list the courses too.

Sounds good Andrew.
We could use the course summary description that is in the course settings probably for this short description.
