Switching from Canvabadges to Badgr
As of April 2018, Canvabadges has been retired.
Make the switch to Badgr today!
The good folks at Instructure don't want these achievements to disappear, so old Canvabadges were migrated to the Badgr platform. This allows users to keep their badge awards in perpetuity while also creating the opportunity for instructors to continue awarding them.
This migration occurred in multiple phases from May 2018 through October 2018.
