Research direction

Start with the file-upload flow and the Dropzone widget's success section described in the issue, then review the original report for context. Choose one of the proposed feedback approaches and verify that a user can tell which course received the upload after submitting.

Description

enhancement minor

Original report by Scott Heggen (Bitbucket: sheggen, GitHub: sheggen).

Two ideas: 1) make a submit button that doesn't really do anything but reload the page, or 2) add a flash message indicating which course the file was successfully uploaded for (would go easily in the success section of the dropzone widget).
