There are a couple of reasons why the student submissions are not displayed under an \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity<\/a> in a Moodle course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Error message: \u2018Nothing to display\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons could be that a filter has been turned on by mistake which then would filter out the submissions. In this case, you would see the following error message appearing on your screen \u2018Nothing to display\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To resolve this issue, please check the filters above the error message. There will be a number of drop-down filters you can activate or deactivate. To restore all at the same time, you can click on the \u2018Clear all\u2019 button (shown on the above screenshot). This will reset all filters in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For informative purposes, we are going to explain these filters individually in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u2018Filter by name\u2019 – With this filter, you could filter submissions to first and last names. Please ensure, both are set to \u2018All\u2019 and click on the \u2018Apply\u2019 button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
