Instructional Technology, Temper, Technique, and Teacher Empowerment.
Hunter, J. Mark; Garrison, James W.
Thresholds in Education, v17 n4 p13-18 Nov 1991

The emendation or feedback loop built into all instructional systems should allow educators to alter design in the context of practice and help technologists design better products.
