The 7 Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education were originally published in 1987 by Arthur Chickering and Zelda Gamson. These are widely accepted principles and they have been applied in various contexts.

Further adaptations have included considerations around technology and CMS features (such as those used in WebCT and Vista):
- Implementing the Seven Principles: Technology as Lever by Chickering and Ehrmann
- Seven Principles of Effective Teaching: A Practical Lens for Evaluating Online Courses
- The Seven Principles and WebCT
- 7 Principles and Vista PDF
The TLT Group (Teaching and Learning with Technology) has a public “library of ideas” that employ technology to support the 7 principles.
