School Services - KnowledgeNET and Moodle

  • Services


    AptApp Ltd is pleased to announce that as of January 2016, we are providing support, hosting and management services for KnowledgeNET and Moodle directly to schools.
    Tim and Dave from AptApp Ltd are the original developers of KnowledgeNET and over the past 2 years, we have been subcontracted by Dimension 3 to manage the Knowledgenet and Moodle services behind the scene.
    Dimension 3 have now stepped out of providing these services and have appointed AptApp Ltd to provide these in it's place.


    What does this mean?
    The KnowledgeNET and Moodle services will continue to operate as they currently do.

    Your contract with Dimension3 terminated on 20th January 2016 and to continue using the service you will need to register with AptApp Ltd using the form below.

    In registering to continue using the service, you will be signing up for a monthly contract which you can terminate with 30 days notice.
    The service cost is based on the number of logins you need for students and staff, rather than your roll size. This makes the cost of using KnowledgeNET or Moodle for part of a school more affordable.

    Services will be removed for schools that have not registered with AptApp by 28th February 2016.

    If you haven't already, register now!

    From a technical perspective:
    The IP address to access KnowledgeNET and Moodle has changed from 202.89.43.xxx to 60.234.78.151.
    This change will only affect you if you use your own domain or sub-domain to access KnowledgeNET or Moodle. In this case, you will need to update your DNS records with the new IP Address.
