We are still in EduNation III, but following a change of ownership, the island has been completely transformed: http://edunation-islands.wikispaces.com/. We hope to be ready soon to launch a number of interdisciplinary learning activities involving participants from different cultures, languages, and disciplines.

Thanks to a small grant from the Dublin City University Business School (DCUBS) and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), a team of researchers from different backgrounds have come together to explore the potential of Virtual Worlds for research and education.
