Certaines techniques d'enseignement séquentiel comprennent des structures où une question, qui n'a pas été résolue, est simplement répétée. Ce sont les "twaddle systems" (structures à rabâchage). Le schéma de telles structures comprend donc des boucles qui partent du point représentant la question, et y reviennent. Ces boucles sont dites "asters" en américain.

OBS

(séquence à boucle, structure à boucle). Par opposition aux "structures à ramifications" où l'instruction de l'élève est complétée par des séquences de questions de révision.

ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) is an imaging instrument that is flying on Terra, a satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER is a cooperative effort between NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center (ERSDAC). ASTER will be used to obtain detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance and elevation. The EOS platforms are part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, whose goal is to obtain a better understanding of the interactions between the biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere.
