Not a huge change but a potentially nice usability improvement: it would be much easier to navigate a sidebar loaded with courses if we were able to provide a custom name for the courses. As a personal example, all of my graduate seminars have the same course number (albeit a differing string of numbers after the original course number). Being able to name the classes by subject would reduce the number of clicks required by removing the need to click through 2 or 3 courses that are identifiable only by the variation in a random string of numbers.

Hi Ezekeal Grounds
You will be happy to learn that this is already possible in Canvas. You can give your courses nicknames in the Course Cards on the Dashboard, and those nicknames also display in the courses list. These nicknames are specific to yourself, and do not display to other users.
Learn how at How do I view course cards in the Dashboard as a student?
I hope this helps,
Kelley
