Thanks for assembling this collection Tony. Some inspirational stuff here.
Great selection - I've seen a few of these before but the fourth one down is new to me and very interesting from my perspective as it's UK-based (judging from the accents!) Can you give a context for this one? It's clearly Health and Social care but do you know which body/authority, and is there a written case study or link where I can find out more?
I've sent an inquiry to the author of the video - hopefully will get a response.
Hi there! Here is a link to the project website: http://www.elu.sgul.ac.uk/preview/blog/

We are also looking for virtual participants to test our scenarios in August in Second Life.
Thanks Tony/Gemma!
regarding the 4th video down which is about the preview project you might also want to have a look at this video which is on the same project but different type of scenarios.
