This limits the space students have to work in and can make the tool harder to use. Setting StudyStash to open in a new window gives students the full experience and is our recommended configuration.

How to change the setting

Step 1

In Site administration, open the StudyStash tool configuration. Scroll down to the field labelled Default launch container. By default this is set to Embed, without blocks.

The field should now read New window. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Save changes.
That’s it. StudyStash will now open in a new window for all students launching it from Moodle.
