[Student View] Clarity for 'Student View' label on course home page

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

Problem statement:

Problem: User mistakenly thinks they are in student mode because they see the 'Student View' text https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-a-course-as-a-test-student-using-S..., in top right, and they don't understand that it is a button to click on, which would then bring them into student mode.

Proposed solution:

Improvement Suggested: Add label to the 'Student View' mode so that it clearly describes what happens when you click the button. Maybe something like "Switch Role to" (example used in other LMS Moodle https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Switch_roles) ?

User role(s):

instructor,ta,designer
