About Complexity Explorer
HISTORY OF COMPLEXITY EXPLORER
Former Vice President of Education at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI), Ginger Richardson, and Portland State University Professor, Melanie Mitchell began thinking about creating an online course back in 2010. SFI's summer schools were always oversubscribed, propelling them to create a MOOC platform and complexity themed MOOCs that could help reach those students craving an understanding of complex systems who were not able to travel to the Santa Fe Institute.
In 2011 the Complexity Explorer project was officially launched by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation to the Santa Fe Institute. In 2012 the platform was developed and in early 2013 the first MOOC, Introduction to Complexity with Melanie Mitchell, was launched with over 7000 enrolled students.
