Fiona Harvey's insight:
I constantly refer to this as an example of why portfolios and badges can work together and should. The badge is part of your identity and the portfolio compliments and enhances it.  I am particularly interested in how evidence-based learning contributes to an online profile. NB: I deliberately didn't bother with the 'e' before the portfolio as it feels a bit redundant now.

I know, I know - case studies are long overdue. We’re fixing that really, really soon....
