Since 2010, after the involvement of Bill Gates, the theme big history has taken a giant leap in popularity. Many universities and also high schools added this theme to their curriculum. Eighteen years ago, the IIS of the UvA was one of the first to introduce this interdisciplinary course in the Netherlands. Nowadays, Big History is one of the most popular open courses at the UvA. To be able to give even more people access to this integrated overview, the IIS developed this massive open online course with the help of the Ministry of Education.
