12. Results and Conclusions Learning Object creation and management is now possible for IT-illiterate teachers in tertiary education The feasibility of the procedure has been proven by means of a realistic project to build a LO library in a non-technological field such as that of Philology (Language, Linguistics and Literature) The procedure has succeeded in improving the quality of teaching materials in both the pedagogical and technological aspects The use of COdA: Helps to improve these materials both from a pedagogic and a technological point of view Helps teachers to understand the concepts of reusability, accessibility and technological independence and how to apply them Encourages the habit of sharing teaching materials, something not very frequent among instructors in Spanish universities
