Options in continuing professional education abound, and certainly the Internet has become a prime source of educational opportunities through various providers.

One of the largest efforts to date is the one produced by Arthur Andersen with its Virtual Learning Network. The Network is a Web-based solution offering the business marketplace education and guidance through a series of online courses.

Screens offer case studies and hands-on exercises to stress the topical nature of the programs and provide real-life learning scenarios.

The venture is co-produced with Learning Insights, a publisher of various programs with accounting and financial material.
