Are you passionate about design practices, methods, and tools for CUI design?
Join us at CUI 2023 for our workshop: "Is CUI Design Ready Yet? A Workshop on Community Practices and Gaps in CUI Design & Resource Development"
As CUIs become more prevalent in both academic research and the commercial market, it becomes more essential to design usable and adoptable CUIs. While research has been growing on the methods for designing CUIs for commercial use, there has been little discussion on overall community practice of developing design resources to aid in practical CUI design. The aim of this workshop therefore is to bring the CUI community together to discuss the current practices for developing tools and resources for practical CUI design, the adoption (or non-adoption) of these tools and resources, and how these resources are utilized in the training and education of new CUI designers entering the field. This workshop will bring together all parts of the CUI community to have meaningful discussions on how CUI design resources are currently developed, and how we can improve these resources and tools to aid in their adoption in practical CUI design, and CUI academic & industry design training.
If you are interested in participating, we ask that you submit either a position paper by July 7th, 2023, or a statement of interest can be submitted at any time (there is no formal deadline for statements of interest).

Designing Conversational User Interfaces for Older Adults
A workshop to held at the ACM SIGCHI CUI 2023 conference (Conversational
User Interfaces)
Call for Submissions and for Participation
This multidisciplinary workshop aims to tackle the significant gaps in
theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, and exploration of new
paradigms within the research and design of Conversational User Interfaces
(CUIs) for Older Adults (OAs). We also aim to build research capacity by
bringing together researchers and practitioners across several disciplines
and industries who are actively working or having an interest toward
understanding older adults’ use of and need for CUIs.
We invite researchers from various fields to present their work on and
collectively engage in synthesizing and collating findings from different
disciplines, and to discuss barriers and approaches to designing CUIs that
are usable, adoptable, personally, and culturally relevant to OAs.
Given the nascent phase of this community, and our goal of encouraging a
grassroots approach to defining this space, we welcome position papers,
short research papers, or short expressions of interest relevant to the
broad space of designing CUIs for OAs.
There is no format for the expression of interest - those wishing to
participate in the workshop without a submitted paper should simply contact
the organizers via email indicating through a short paragraph their prior
experience and/or interest as relevant to the workshop, alongside their
professional website or scholar page.
For those interested in submitting a formal paper, we welcome short papers
describing e.g. a research study, a novel system, a new theoretical
contribution, or position papers that highlight new or ongoing challenges
in the field. Submitted papers will be lightly reviewed by the organizing
committee within 10 days of submission (there is no formal deadline).
Accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website. We recommend papers
to be no more than 4 pages long, following the CHI Extended Abstract
format). Submissions, expressions of interest, and any other queries
related to the workshop should be sent to: cui-oa2023(a)cs.toronto.edu
Submissions will be reviewed according to the fit with the workshop topic
and potential to contribute to the workshop goals. Alternate submission
arrangements may be possible (such as the showcasing of papers previously
accepted at other conferences).

*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
The development of Smart Learning Ecosystems is of strategic relevance
for all the territorial ambits on which they insist, either because they
can act as a bulwark against degradation in the most critical areas, or
because they can contribute to increasing the well-being of students and
their communities of reference; moreover, they can also act as a driver
for sustainable development of the territories.
The achievement of an adequate level of smartness in the learning
ecosystems is, however, a process that needs a long-term vision,
multidisciplinary competencies, an attitude to understand people and
contexts and to mediate points of view, a dynamic approach to resilience
to keep on track and achieve, step-by-step, the foreseen goals: in
short, an attitude to design and implement sustainable projects and
processes aimed at achieving a people-centered smart environments and
education.
Climate change, pandemics, wars (more or less uncovered), and the energy
and food crises triggered by them, all point towards the need to change
our lifestyles and make them fully sustainable. The SDGs [1] and the
cultural and technological transitions they foster – such as the green
transition – therefore become new challenges with which smart learning
ecosystems and communities must measure themselves to support the
education of competent and responsible future citizens.
Citizens whose future behaviour implies the entrenchment of a sense of
membership [2] and the development of meta-design competencies [3]-,
i.e., the competence of knowing how to explore and manage, the ambiguity
and uncertainty that changes will bring.
Within such an evolving scenario, we also have to face the amplifying
power of digital technologies, which – as discussed in the UNESCO
document “The futures of education for participation in 2050” [4] –
could contribute, through educational processes, to the development of a
fairer and more equitable society and, at the same time, to more careful
use of resources; but, on the other hand, if not adequately utilized,
they could also lead to deepening the existing gaps. Thus, we have to
face a parallel digital transition that raises many questions about its
impact on humans and the environment, including its energy
sustainability. The digital transition – which complements the other
cultural transitions induced by SDGs (giving rise to multiple twin
transitions) – thus, left us with complex questions about when, how, and
why to use digital technologies in and for learning, that can be
approached through multiple perspectives and angles. How can they
contribute sustainably, to transform education, support cultural
transitions, reduce inequalities, and at the same time, empower
individuals according to their needs, expectations, and talents?

General topics of interest acting as background and frame for the twin
transitions can be grouped under three big themes: places for smart
education, people in place- centered design for smart education,
supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. All can
be related to studies that develop on a post-pandemic view and strategy

learning ecosystems as engines of the twin transitions, like the green
and digital one.
