Outline of Final Research Achievements	We developed a novel online system (COBIA: online system for Consensus Building In Anonymity) to create teaching materials for clinical reasoning. This system enables busy clinician educators to make groups and exchange each other's opinions through the internet. It is characterized by keeping group members' personal information totally anonymous.
