The final project output from the Virtual Europe project. A presentation for ECEL 2009: 8th European Conference on e-Learning.

At the conclusion of the Virtual Europe project, this paper offers a unique viewpoint on the benefits and limitations surrounding the development and pilot of a European health based simulated community. It discusses how the project has not successfully achieved its targeted objectives and reflects on the barriers which stopped the project from being successfully utilised within European health education curriculums. It contrasts the lessons learned from work on the Wessex Bay virtual community (Scammell et al. 2008) with its international counterpart and offers some suggestions on the practicalities of working on future interprofessional, intercultural e-learning projects.
