Here are some interesting videos showing how Second Life can be used to design and deliver health related training and actual client support within a virtual world. This one is focused on nursing education. This one demonstrates various views of how a virtual platform can help mental health and other patients.

I remember the hype over Second Life, and recognizing that the core elements were 3D and social. There are myriad factors: acquisition and shut down by competitors, other elements fail despite a good premise, or even unexpected factors outside of control (e.g. a pandemic!). Yet, what we saw were slide presentations in a virtual world.

Instead, trust (and ensure) that your designers know more about learning than the SME, and have practices to help ameliorate the problem.
