I was thinking here more in terms of helping students develop self
assessment skills. I have delivered sample answers but it hasn't
always generated the desired improvement in the standard of
student work. The students needed some skills in assessing their
own work.
One of the benefits that I see of learning objects is that generic
learning support objects can be created and re-used in other
courses. We might also have some foundational concepts in the
subject area that we want made available to a range of courses.
These might be subject area specific but not necessarily course
specific.
