This paper describes how guidance is provided in the Learning Objects (LOs) with Just In Time Tutorials (JITTs) self assessment to encourage autonomous learning in their learning and achieve the desired learning outcome. The guidance in the form of JITTs is developed to assist and guide learners to acquire skills specified in the learning outcomes. The subject matter expert will orchestrate different levels of difficulty of assessment questions in LOs to match the learning outcome. Learners may be asked to master the previous learning objects before proceeding to the next one. This new development allows learners to identify their strengths and weaknesses through reflective learning via self assessment. Open and distance learning (ODL) education is pertinent in ensuring learners achieved the desired learning outcomes. In doing so, it will place special emphasis on whether the learners achieve the desired learning outcomes through interactive LOs with JITTs self assessment. The Control Engineering module together with Block Diagram Reduction Method learning object are chosen for this project. The development and process of implementing interactive LOs with JITTs is discussed and presented. (Authors' abstract)
