[Courses] Display Student's Enrollment Course for Cross-listed Courses

[DanStoffel]

Problem statement:

Currently if a student is enrolled in a cross-listed course, the student only sees the "parent course" listed in their course list or dashboard. This can be confusing, especially if the cross-listed courses have different subjects and/or the student does not know that their course is cross-listed with others. For example, if these three courses are cross-listed: CLA-130 (Classical Studies) PHI-130 (Philosophy) REL-130 (Religion) ...with the "parent" course being CLA-130, the student will see CLA-130 in their course list. But if the student is enrolled in REL-130, they might not realize that CLA-130 is their course.

Proposed solution:

Canvas knows a student's enrollment section. Display this to the student in the course list, dashboard, etc. instead of the "parent" section, so that a student will not be confused.

I think the teacher can rename the course to be more fitting and inclusive.   And if the teacher leaves the People link visible, students can click to see in which section they are.   Courses don't get crosslisted -- sections get crosslisted.

If it's even remotely possible that this idea will move forward into the product, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it optional. In K-12 it would make very little sense to show the original course the student was cross-listed from.
