Blackboard is an actual piece of shit, though. It's slow, still has trouble with most browsers, and doesn't get any of its features right. The four years of crap I had to put up with for that site are still fresh in my mind.
To be a bit more solution-oriented, most students and teachers don't care about the majority of what BB offers. They want:
* Upload and administer documents
* Assign grades to assignments
* Access Control to the above
* Speed across all browsers for the above
If Github can get these right, I don't see why they couldn't have a strong offering.
