Dear Open Badges Community, Starting May 1st 2015, Achievery is suspending new digital badge and credential creation and awarding on the platform. Existing users will be able to log in to access their badges and data. We will continue to host all current badges and associated metadata, and are creating an easy way for all of our users to reasonably access and export their badges. We will follow-up with our users with a more detailed process soon. This has been an exciting adventure for the Achievery team. We’ve worked with many high-quality organizations that are creating powerful new ways to recognize and verify the unique skills and experiences of people. We have learned a tremendous amount from the Achievery community, a global group of educators and technologists building better ways to lift up the unique skills of individuals. THANK YOU. Damian and I plan to continue to remain involved in this space and to serve the needs of educational institutions that are building new credentials and learning pathways that help people make a living by being themselves. We’ve updated http://achievery.com to reflect our services and resources for the community. Best, Kerri Lemoie & Damian Ewens
