The seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education, developed by Arthur Chickering and Zelda Gamson, will be reviewed. The use of technology, especially web-based online technology, to apply these principles in teaching and learning will be examined; an example of such an implementation in an online computer class will be given together with some very specific teaching aids that can successfully be used in online classes; and further suggestions for successful online teaching will be discussed. Limitations of the study and recommendations for future implementations will be also discussed.
