Ray Henderson may be most recognizable from his previous position as the President and Chief Technical Officer of the Academic Division of Blackboard, the learning management system giant. He stepped down after four years in 2013, much to the disappointment of many watchers of the LMS market.
For example, at the time, Joshua Kim, Director of Digital Learning Initiatives at the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning, wrote in Inside Higher Ed, “It is very difficult for executives of educational technology or educational publishing businesses to transcend their management roles and be recognized as both true partners with higher education and as thought leaders in our discipline. Ray managed to do both.”
Prior to his time at Blackboard, Ray led product development at ANGEL Learning, an LMS startup that was acquired by Blackboard in 2009, and was President of Pearson’s Digital Media Group, where he worked on subscription-based course supports like CourseCompass and MyMathLab.
