| − | 2. What are 1-3 best of PSLC accomplishments that results, at least in part, because of having a center (these could be the same as #1)? For each, why was this accomplishment less likely to have happened without the center (i.e., why couldn’t a regular grant have resulted in the same outcome)?

| − | # Individual projects are islands of afordability - it is the center that bridges between them to create an infrastructure.
| |
| − | # It is through the on-going discussion and the breadth of projects that the framework was created. The framework emerged from this combination of top-down and bottom up process, that included researchers above the critical math.

| |
| − | # More meta-analysis should be conducted on existing results using the existing framework. This meta-analysis should be done in two levels:
| |
| − | ## Integrating results from different studies
| |
| − | ## Looking at learning phenomenas across existing data-sets
| |
| − | # This analysis should be contribute in two ways:
| |
| − | ## Generating better science
| |
| − | ## Generating better instructional principles.
| |
| − | # Integration is the keyword here. Just like it required a center to turn the technological islands of affordability (e.g., CTAT) into a complete infrastructure, the next task of the center should be to bridge between the local islands of knowledge and principles to a more complete picture, or sheet.
