“…Indeed, numerous articles and reports have recognized the experience, resources, and expertise that UCE practitioners in Canada can bring to the "engagement table" (Extension Committee on Organization and Policy, 2002;McDowell, 2004;Thompson & Lamble, 2000;Walshok, 1999;Ward, 2003). Moreover, as noted by others (Archer & Wright, 1999;Cram & Morrison, 2005;Fear & Sandmann, 1995;Garrison, 2001;Selman, 2005), a period of significant opportunity may be at hand for UCE units to provide the leadership needed for their host institutions to become truly "engaged." At the same time, as we have outlined, this opportunity is not without risks.…”

In this paper, we describe the outreach and engagement movement in the United States and explore the implications of this movement for university continuing education units in Canada. Across the United States, major universities have adopted the vocabulary of “outreach and engagement” to foster a shift in the relationships of those universities with communities and organizations beyond the traditional boundaries of the institution. This vocabulary has its roots in the work of Ernest Boyer (1990, 1996) and the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities (1999, 2000). In the past decade, many American universities have adopted new leadership and organizational structures to make an operational commitment to outreach and engagement. In Canada, university continuing education units have traditionally been involved in activities that fit within the concept of outreach and engagement, and leaders of such units should consider the implications of the outreach and engagement movement.

“…(p. 189) This type of communication is in direct contrast to one synchronous communication, in which the participants communicate in real-time. The spontaneity of this type of communication promotes immediate responses, which may be seen as a disadvantage (Berge, 1995;Garrison, 2001) because the time-lag in the asynchronous medium allows for messages to be sent at any time. The advantage then is that e-learners and the e-moderator or online teacher can communicate in a relaxed way, with the opportunity to reflect on each other's online contributions.…”

A collaborative research initiative was undertaken to evaluate the pedagogical variation model (PVM) for online learning and teaching at Kuwait University. Outcomes from sample populations of students—both postgraduates and undergraduates—from the Faculty of Education were analyzed for comparison. As predicted in the PVM, the findings indicate that online e-learners do have preferences for particular e-moderator online teaching strategies. No generalizations can be made due to the small size of the sample. However, joint international research initiatives are developing online learning materials in order to widen access to Web courses and resources.

“…Garrison submits that UCE professionals, with their program development skills, entrepreneurial ability, understanding of the marketplace, and their location within the university, can provide the leadership necessary to assist higher education with adapting to technological and global change (2001). He suggests that initiatives such as piloting new approaches and learning technologies along with the development and delivery of social programs subsidized through other program revenues will assist the university with achieving community outreach goals (Garrison, 2001). Hall advocates the development of local, national, and international networks in order to facilitate learning and engagement and share knowledge and resources (2009).…”

Reframing University Continuing Education’s Role in Community Engagement

In Canada, a growing interest within higher education in community engagement practices is evidenced through the establishment of national networks, funding opportunities for community-university research partnerships, and the development of specially designated centres on university campuses. However, based on the literature in continuing education, the role of university continuing education (UCE) units in supporting community engagement is not clear. Many UCE units have been involved and continue to be involved in developing and implementing various types of community engagement activities, yet the work of these units is not widely recognized within the university and the community as contributing substantially to the social purpose mission of the institution. The pressures and tensions relating to balancing the social and economic goals of the UCE unit may be influencing the role of UCE in community engagement. Strategies identified in this article that could assist UCE in embedding community engagement within the practice and in reframing the focus of UCE include the development of a community engagement framework and measurement tools that assess outcomes leading to positive social change.
