[Sections] Show section dates on Sections Tab

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

I want the section start and end dates to appear under the section name, right on the Sections tab. Currently when you go to Settings/Sections tab to view course section(s), for details like the dates, it requires a further click to open it up. It is not obvious for instructors that there are important dates they can't see without opening the section.  Pretty much no one thinks to click on the section to look for dates, yet they are vitally important to when the course opens/concludes. We use section start and end dates to control student access as I'm sure many schools do.  

Including the participation restriction status is also helpful. Here is a mockup of how it would look, the image of dates is copied from an opened section. Even with multiple sections it wouldn't take up that much space but would be extremely helpful for instructors and administrators.

I second this suggestion. The Sections Tab  has room, and adding useful at-a-glance additional information would be really helpful.
