This review evaluates GitHub Classroom as a pedagogical tool in higher education, with reference to computing and digital engineering programmes. The platform facilitates authentic assessment, aligns teaching with industry-standard practices and provides opportunities for engagement, monitoring and feedback. While its strengths include transparency, scalability and formative assessment, challenges remain in relation to the necessary steep learning curve, institutional integration and equity of access. The review concludes with recommendations for practitioners and directions for future research, highlighting the need to balance professional authenticity with inclusive pedagogy.
