FAQs

Moodle is acting strangely what can I do?
Please review this resource:  Moodle Status 
What does "Error Couldn't retrieve LMS Data." mean?

This error message appears if the internet or network is running slowly or is unstable.

  • Step 1
    If the student refreshes the browser a few times the error message should go away.
  • Step 2
    If the error message is very persistent; please have the student clear their internet history and cache.
  • If using an Apple device
    Please use this resource to disable “Prevent cross-site tracking” in the Safari browser:
  • Step 3
    If after refreshing and clearing the internet history; the message still appears please verify that third-party cookies are not being blocked.
Some or all student grades are missing, what can be done?
  • Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade
  • Have the student click the text that says Summary

Moodle_Summary_Text
All student grades are zero (0), what can I do?
Make certain that the point value assigned to the Moodle external tool assignment is something other than zero (0)
Grades are not shown under the correct assignment in the Moodle Gradebook.

Most likely this scenario has happened:

  • The student opens Assignment “A” and tries a few questions.
  • The student then opens Assignment “B” in a new tab or window on the same browser.
  • The student moves back to Assignment “A” and sends the assignment.

In this scenario, scores will appear under Assignment “B” rather than Assignment “A” because scores are sent back for the last opened assignment (Assignment “B” in this case) on the browser as the session is updated.
How can I see when grades were received by the Moodle Gradebook?

Grade history shows as grades are coming in; under Source anywhere you see mod/lti; that’s Moodle receiving the grade from iCEV, or any other external tools being used.

Please review this resource: Moodle - Grade History
