add indication that collaboration name is missing so users know why submit button does not activate

[alisondiefender]

In Canvas collaborations, users might miss that they need to name the collaboration, and then wonder why their submit button does not activate, as there is neither a prompt that there is a textbox to complete there, nor is there an error message when it is empty.

My idea is to generate an indicator or in-screen instructions so users do know what selections are needed to start populating collaboration groups.

The line in question is in this image as the name line.

I typed in test, so it activated the teal button, but if I wouldn't place the name test there, there is no way to know why the collaboration won't populate with individuals or students, nor is there any way to know why the teal button is inactivate/grayed out.

It is something I know multiple Canvas administrators who have overlooked, as well as faculty.
