This needs some videos to show what it can do. Not many teachers know what GitHub is and if I wanted to suggest this as a possible option I could not explain it to them.

Maybe a video showing the creation of an assignment and sending it out (url via email, is it?), students completing the assignment, and teachers looking over a completed assignment.

If that is a poor example of what this does then I missed the point entirely.

That's rather unfortunate, as more and more of the people putting their degree to work definitely need to know what it is, especially in start ups.
