In 2015 the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) along with the AICPA have proposed new methods for delivering CPE Credits to CPAs. These two methods are called Nano-Learning and Blended Learning methods. Nano-Learning will offer information to CPAs in bite-sized pieces, whereas blended learning can be a combination of self-study and live instruction presentations. These items have been put in an exposure draft in order to solicit comments. These two items could very well be placed in the CPE Standards in 2016.
