Description
The dropdown dashboard link and courses nav link both direct to the dashboard page. Their naming and descriptions in Header.messages suggest they would be distinct. This can lead to user-confusion and it is suggested these should be either named the same or direct to different locations.
This could be solved by the customizable header once/if it is built, but a more sensible default is recommended.

Start in src/Header.jsx at lines 55-59 and 64-68, then compare the corresponding entries in Header.messages.jsx. Review the customizable-header proposal linked in the issue before deciding whether the labels or destinations should differ. Done means the two navigation choices have distinct, intentional naming and behavior, with the chosen default documented.
