    Description

      We are going to treat this as a bug and look for backportable solutions.

      1. Reduce the list of displayed courses to match the logic used to filter courses in the "In progress" tab of the Course Overview block
      2. Introduce an upper limit on the number of courses displayed in this list by default (separate issue MDL-59140).
      3. Allow expanding / collapsing the list of courses via the "My courses" entry (separate issue MDL-59141).

      Note: Introducing a search / filter would be useful for some types of users - but for users with a short list this would make the experience worse. We can look at this as a new feature when the list is longer than X - but it would require a separate issue as it is not backportable.
