How is it worse than subscribing to Blackboard or some other educational software service?

  This goes beyond teaching for bsc, msc and phd students. Scholar.google.com is becoming the central hub of science. My university is using Github for several CS classes. We have one course where you need to fix problems in a Github-based repo in order to pass the course. The entire course is also on Github: https://avandeursen.com/2013/12/30/teaching-software-architecture-with-github/ https://avandeursen.com/2013/12/30/teaching-software-archite... This goes beyond CS50, fix other peoples code, understand what 100k lines of code means. Science is also moving to Github. I run an open lab. All my weekly meeting notes and intermediate research results are public. All phd, msc, and bsc students in the lab report through Github. Amazing tool to keep track of progress. Sadly it's one organisation in control, no backups of issues. https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki#current-items-under-active-development https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki#current-items-under-...

  Isn't Blackboard universally considered to be awful by everyone who is forced to use it? ...I was a student too long ago, but this is my impression from speaking with younger relatives.

    Yes, it's terrible. The competitors aren't much better, if not worse.
