As Voice User Interfaces (VUI) become more prominent in everyday life, there is an ever
growing need to ensure that designers have the appropriate knowledge and tools to be able
to build usable VUIs. To do this, we need to develop a curriculum for VUI design. However,
there are few resources in academia and in industry to help ground the development of a
new VUI-specific HCI curriculum. We discuss the limited approaches to VUI design, and
particularly to preparing designers for this emerging interaction paradigm-both academia …

As Voice User Interfaces (VUI) become more prominent in everyday life, there is an ever growing need to ensure that designers have the appropriate knowledge and tools to be able to build usable VUIs. To do this, we need to develop a curriculum for VUI design. However, there are few resources in academia and in industry to help ground the development of a new VUI-specific HCI curriculum. We discuss the limited approaches to VUI design, and particularly to preparing designers for this emerging interaction paradigm - both academia and industry training. Grounded in this, we then describe potential avenues for understanding what a VUI curriculum may entail, what would HCI educators need from it, and how such a curriculum would be validated.
