When the instructor creates an assignment with dates of availability, the dates of availability appear to the left of (hence, prior to in the reading order) the due date. (see image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bBHXyoVLLeNIgVBH5vIctrPOrV0get8w/view?usp=sharing)

This has caused some confusion in the past among students, and a few (but still a tiny minority) thought confused the due date with the available until date, and hence submitted the assignment substantially late. What's more, one of the students who made this mistake stated that he has dyslexia which according to him contributed to his confusion.

The problem doesn't occur anywhere else. The course calendar and the to-do list don't list dates of availability; they list only due dates. So, I wonder if due dates can be made more prominent in the UI under the "Assignments" tab. For instance, if the due date is in bold, that might help.

Thanks,
