The Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (aka LearnLab) is a Science of Learning Center funded by the National Science Foundation and managed by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.{{cite web|url=https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0354420 |title=Award#0354420 - SLC Center: Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center: Studying Robust Learning with Learning Experiments in Real Classrooms |publisher=Nsf.gov |date= |accessdate=2011-10-24}}{{cite web |url=http://psychcentral.com/news/archives/2004-10/cmu-cmu100404.html |title=Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburgh receive NSF grant to create Science of Learning Center |publisher=Psych Central |date=2009-02-21 |accessdate=2011-10-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140513011233/http://psychcentral.com/news/archives/2004-10/cmu-cmu100404.html |archivedate=2014-05-13 }} The PSLC is led by Kenneth Koedinger and Charles Perfetti, and includes many other notable scientists, including Vincent Aleven and David Klahr.

The PSLC theory wiki collects and organizes research results, including a list of instructional principles that are supported by learning science research. The wiki is open and freely editable.{{cite web|url=http://www.learnlab.org/research/wiki/index.php/Instructional_Principles_and_Hypotheses |title=Instructional Principles and Hypotheses - Pslc |publisher=Learnlab.org |date=2011-09-08 |accessdate=2011-10-24}}
