Scoping review highlights AI's role in educational interactions, suggesting its integration enhances cognitive engagement.
This paper provides a scoping review of the literature published between 2023 and 2025 concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide scaffolding in higher education. Adopting a Human-Computer Interaction perspective, this review treats AI as an active participant in educational interactions. The analysis identifies five distinct types of AI-driven support: analytically managed cues and prompts; cognitive assistants; didactically designed chatbots; AI-assisted educational assignment design; and algorithmically generated recommendations. The review concludes that the efficacy of such AI tools depends on their deep integration into the learning process and their ability to augment the cognitive engagement of students.
