Abstract
1 With the development of voice as an emerging form of interaction (especially in the commercial, consumer space), new design methods and principles need to be adopted to account for the design challenges that Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) bring. As this leads to an increase in demand for designers who are primarily experts in VUI design, they must be trained in new VUI design methods and principles. However, there is currently a lack of education in VUI design within HCI curricula. We conducted a preliminary scoping scan of HCI curricula of 20 top HCI departments across the world, exploring the current state of VUI design training in HCI education. Based on this, we advocate for the updating of HCI curricula to incorporate training for VUI design, and for the development of VUI heuristics as pedagogical artifacts to be included in new curricula, as more usability designers are asked to design for new VUIs.
