The purpose of this study was to test the educational value of a peer-to-peer feedback system in health professions education. Pre-trained on a patient transfer skills, junior occupational therapy students were randomized into a control group (no additional training), and experimental group (encouraged to participate in peer-to-peer Internet mediated feedback for a week). Results indicate that participants in the experimental group did not outperform those in the control group. Future research will concentrate on adding an expert moderator (the educator) to stimulate the learning process
