Abstract: The concepts of implementing the flipped classroom approach are fundamentally the same across different disciplines, yet many teachers still consider it too difficult to switch from the traditional lecture mode to the flipped classroom approach due to the lack of a practical model. This paper mainly evaluates five different technological courses that adopted the flipped classroom approach for one semester in The University of Hong Kong based on the 'Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education' proposed by Chickering and Gamson in 1987. Good principle-guided practices from these five courses are summarised. It is aimed that the findings of this paper will motivate on-campus teachers to adopt the flipped classroom approach.

Keywords: flipped classroom; seven principles of effective teaching; blended learning; SPOC; instructional design; learning design.
