In this final issue of the Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education (CJUCE), on behalf of the CAUCE Board of Directors 2015–2016 and the CJUCE–JPCOE Working Group, I would like to reflect on CJUCE’s past and JPCOE’s future.

The Social

Although in some parts of the academic community the popularity of electronic journals allows research to be conducted almost exclusively online, the social sciences, of which education is a part, have generally been slower to accept the electronic publishing (e-publishing) of journals and research data. Using a nationally distributed questionnaire, the readership of the Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education was asked to provide input on this topic. The discussion paper that follows presents the results of that questionnaire, framing them within the issues that underlie academic journals' decisions to move to e-publishing formats. As a Forum contribution, this paper is intended to generate response or discussion.

This will be the final issue of the CAUCE journal, the Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education (CJUCE). The CAUCE board, in consultation with the membership, decided at the 2015 spring conference to retire CJUCE and develop a new journal that better represents the changes occurring in continuing education.

Survey Results

In a previous Forum article (Conrad, 2002), survey results on the perceived acceptance of moving the Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education (CJUCE) closer to an e-publishing format were presented. These results and the ensuing discussion highlighted important issues associated with e-publishing formats based on the perspectives of the CJUCE readership. This paper extends that discussion to include a look at overcoming existing criticisms of the peer-review process, current changes in university library holdings, and perspectives of the contributors with respect to e-journal formats.

Trial Participants

AbstractPharmaceutical companies have increasingly utilized genomic data for the selection of drug targets and the development of precision medicine approaches. Most major pharmaceutical companies routinely collect DNA from clinical trial participants and conduct pharmacogenomic (PGx) studies. However, the implementation of PGx studies during clinical development presents a number of challenges. These challenges include adapting to a constantly changing global regulatory environment, challenges in study design and clinical implementation, and the increasing concerns over patient privacy. Advances in the field of genomics are also providing new opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, including the availability of large genomic databases linked to patient health information, the growing use of polygenic risk scores, and the direct sequencing of clinical trial participants. The Industry Pharmacogenomics Working Group (I-PWG) is an association of pharmaceutical companies actively working in the field of pharmacogenomics. This I-PWG perspective will provide an overview of the steps pharmaceutical companies are taking to address each of these challenges, and the approaches being taken to capitalize on emerging scientific opportunities.

Extended Reflection

Practitioners and theorists have given attention recently to the role and status of research activities in Canadian university continuing education units. For individuals in units that are increasing the proportion of their organizational activities devoted to research, there will be an ongoing process of cognitive change and development as a new organizational culture emerges. Sensemaking is used in this article as a heuristic for exploring the process of incorporating and developing research activities in university continuing education units. Sensemaking is the cognitive process of justifying or legitimating a decision or outcome after the decision or outcome is already known. It is associated with organizational models that reject an exclusively rational decision-making paradigm of organizational action. Sensemaking recognizes the centrality of the following elements in the interpretation of research activities and their relationship to organizational life: time, identity construction, and the ongoing creation of context. The authors provide an extended reflection on the process of meaning-making that may be experienced by individuals as conventional research becomes a more important part of organizational life. Such a reflection may support and inform the change process as it occurs in university continuing education units.

Simon Fraser University

At Simon Fraser University, continuing education activities are developed and administered by the division of Continuing Studies working in association with the university's academic departments. The Applied Sciences Program, a Continuing Studies unit, was formed in early 1986 to parallel the new Faculty of Applied Sciences established in 1985 in a major reorganization of the University. This faculty is composed of the Schools of Computing Science, Kinesiology and Engineering Science plus the Department of Communication and the Natural Resources Management Program. The article focuses on the School of Engineering Science and their collaborative work with industry in continuing education.

This article is a response to Scott McLean’s (2007) CJUCE Forum article “About Us,” which set out the claims that university continuing education (UCE) units make about themselves on their websites. Using the activities of the Legal Studies Program of the Faculty of Extension at the University of Alberta as a reference point, this article suggests that the activities of UCE units may not be as bland as their purpose statements suggest. The ability of those statements to represent the visions of UCE units is questioned, as is the adequacy of the processes by which such statements are generated. In doing so, the author exposes the need to catalogue what UCE units are actually doing and reflect on why we seem to need to downplay some of those activities. The article concludes with the suggestion that in presenting a synthesis of the units’ purpose statements, McLean takes UCE units full circle to the debate he set to the side: What should UCE units do?
