Ender's Game is one example of this, along with a couple of other of Orson Scott Card's works--he is someone who is known for taking a short story and expanding it into a novel.

Yep, I've seen numerous short stories expanded into novels (generally to their detriment).
2001 came from the short story The Sentinental
Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress was a short story which became a series of novels
etc.
