real (or authentic) work has purpose, is defined by its own results, considers its audience, involves editing and feedback, often involves collaboration, and results in constructed meaning and a polished product. in the academic world, a research publication is an excellent example of real work. we have generalized the concept of \u201creal work\u201d and developed a set of instructional design principles that we think anyone can use to move academic assignments from the realm of homework to that of real work. in this presentation, i will provide an overview of these real work principles, provide numerous examples of these in the area of organic chemistry, and include, perhaps most importantly, the mechanism we use to enable faculty to pursue their instructional development ideas.<\/p>\n
