Derived from the workshop's thematic analysis: three researchers collaboratively generated tensions through iterative brainstorming, aligning the 21 benefits and 21 challenges with formulated dilemmas until full consensus. The dilemmas concern "rules, social modes, identity framing, systems nudging, personalized design, and ethics positioning".

"Based on these findings, six pedagogical dilemmas were identified and mapped to key dimensions of Social-Cognitive Theory."
