About

Hi! I'm Laura Knight, the lucky Instructional Technologist Designer at Oxnard College. People are my coffee. 

I began my post-secondary education here in this district when I was a student at Moorpark College. While at Moorpark, I found my place in the Radio Television Film program where I discovered a love of video editing. I transferred to San Diego State University where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Communication. A few years and some soul searching later, I earned my Master's degree in Communication with an emphasis on Interpersonal Communication and discovered a passion for teaching. 

I have the best job in the world because it combines my love of teaching and empowering students/faculty with my love of making and editing videos for bite-sized lessons and just-in-time learning to support student success. 

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