Where's the Structure? A Systematic Literature Review of Empirical Research on Human-AI Collaboration and Hybrid Intelligence for Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied across educational contexts to support learning. One approach to such support is “human-AI collaboration” (also termed “hybrid intelligence”), where human(s) and AI components interact to promote human learning. However, as in human-to-human computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), unstructured interaction does not necessarily produce an effective learning experience. This paper reports a systematic literature review of empirical studies (N=62) on human-AI collaboration and hybrid intelligence for learning support. The review characterizes collaboration processes, their structures, and contexts of application. It also extracts emerging design knowledge and research gaps. Researchers and technology designers can use these findings as a starting point for structuring more effective AI-enhanced technologies for collaboration, in educational practice and future research.
