In this work, we explain the underlying interaction mechanisms which governstudents' influence on each other in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).Specifically, we outline different ways in which students can be negativelyexposed to their peers on MOOC forums and discuss a simple formulation oflearning network diffusion, which formalizes the essence of how such aninfluence spreads and can potentially lead to student attrition over time. Wealso view the limitations of our student modeling in the light of real worldMOOC behavior and consequently suggest ways of extending the diffusion model tohandle more complex assumptions. Such an understanding is very beneficial forMOOC designers and instructors to create a conducive learning environment thatsupports students' growth and increases their engagement in the course.
