By default, eClass will create links to resources and activities within a course. In other words, if you create a resource or activity and then use the name of that resource or activity elsewhere in the course, eClass will automatically create a link between the name and the resource. This includes forum postings, pages, labels, description, quizzes, assignments, wiki etc.

If you do not want the name of the activity or resource automatically linked, there are several ways to do this. You can disable this either on a specific activity or resource, or for the course as a whole.
