Stash
The stash block is a good way to encourage more interaction with activities and is invaluable for teachers looking to gamify their course.
This plugin introduces a block that shows students items that they have picked up through the course.
The teacher can create items and then place them in activities and resources for students to find.
Items can be set to be collected once and encourages exploration of the course material. It is also possible to set an item to have an unlimited supply from a set location. This could encourage students to return to specific areas to collect more items.

I have installed this wonderful plugin but I make a mistake and add two blocks in a course.
Now I can't acces to the course if this block is activate.
How can I delete one of the block of the course.
Thanks in advanced
Thanks for the message, can you tell me how you managed to add the block twice in your course? I'd like to be able to replicate the problem and find a fix.
After some thought, I don't remember how I did it.
I have restored the course but I am sure I will replicate the error again. I think it was actually when creating a trade store.
I'll keep you posted when it happens to me and again, thanks for the excellent plugin.
Regards
For example, if I put:
Supplies: 5 and I put unlimited and, in recurrence, I put 1 day.
This means that:
(a) Each day a maximum of 5 appear and there is no limit?
b) Every day one appears and there is no limit?
Thanks in advance
It's possible change the image of a object if any students has already been picked up.
Thanks in advanced.
PS: Thanks for the last answer Adrian Greeve.
