    Description

      In 3.5 we were showing the course short name along with the course full name on the course overview block.

      We should add these back in for each of the course overview views (cards, list, summary) and the other dashboard blocks that show course cards.

      The UX team is going to give us a prototype for how this should look.

      The short name should be shown if the admin has set the courselistshortnames config to true in Site Admin > Appearance > Courses
