I'm Laura Knight, one of the ITDs at Oxnard College. People are my coffee. I am committed to advancing student success through innovative, personalized instruction across all learning modalities. With over 25 years of teaching experience, I appreciate the diverse expertise faculty bring to their disciplines and enjoy collaborating to integrate technology and design solutions that support effective learning.

My latest interests are in using Digital Storytelling and Gamification in education. Our stories create powerful connections.
