The list of "ten design characteristics of authentic activities" outlined by Reeves et al makes for interesting reading. Some of it is (intentionally I presume) quite self-evident and even simplistic, but they are useful as markers to guide what I hope to develop in my own teaching.
As a law tutor, the real-world relevence (point 1) will have to be geared more to subject specific tasks, such as giving advice to a fictitious client or arguing a particular point of law, as most of the practice-based skills are still carried out almost exclusively face-to-face
I think as a point to aim for, the rest of the characteristics are really good..
