Odessa, TX — Learner success is a top priority for ĢTV. To remove barriers to success for its online learners, ĢTV has joined Quality Matters (QM) — the international leader for quality assurance in online and innovative digital teaching and learning environments. 

Quality Matters membership provides ĢTV with access to a comprehensive, research-supported quality assurance process to design and develop accessible, engaging online courses. Additional tools and resources allow ĢTV to evaluate course and program design to ensure that the needs of today’s online learners are being met. QM’s professional development opportunities provide faculty and staff with a pathway to develop and strengthen key online design and delivery skills.
