YouScience is probably the sort of thing learning styles sceptics are talking about when they argue so vehemently against them. What it purports to do is to "use performance measures of aptitudes to uncover students' natural talents, match them to careers, and give them personalized feedback." It's like a sorting hat for talent. I wanted to test it but it asked me for $29 instead, so buyer beware. This article, punitively in eCampus News, is in fact a press release (at least they're making this clear up front so I don't have to search for the original). I'd be interested to know why the Utah government thought it was worth paying for. Certainly you don't need software to know that more people sorted into agriculture or manufacturing don't really have an interest in being there. (p.s. Ravenclaw, ftw)
