Because these groups lacked creative input from the outside, they tended to rehash the same ideas that they used the first time they worked together. If not, the cognitive differences between then may be little more than disconnected silos of ideas and thoughts. By diversity, I mean cognitive differences.

MOOCs, by virtue of being collaborative in nature, requires people to "put themselves and their ideas out there". In a collaborative and participatory environment as in MOOCs, discussions often lead to debate, thrashing out of ideas, and exchange of perspectives. This can be perceived as threatening to those with a fixed mindset.
