$25M Grant Creates Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center

The Pittsburgh Business Times reports:

"The National Science Foundation awarded Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh a five-year, $25 million grant to establish the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center, which will sponsor research into how people learn and, based on what they find, develop technologies and approaches to teaching that will foster consistently high achievement in the nation's classrooms.

The center will create a research facility called LearnLab, where education researchers can create, run and analyze experiments on how people learn."
