Matthew Pittinsky, 32, is cofounder and chairman of Blackboard Inc., which went public in June and whose E-learning software is now used by more than 2,000 colleges, schools, and companies worldwide.

Pittinsky, who eventually hopes to add teaching and research to his Blackboard responsibilities, recently shared his perspectives on the future—and past—of E-learning with senior writer Anne McGrath.
