Individuals may complete a web-based test at nearly any time and at any place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, almost any computer lab can become a testing center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to understand the environmental issues that may influence test performance. This study furthers our understanding of web-based testing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The research is conducted using an experimental method with 220 undergraduate student participants in an academic environment. Test performance effects are examined based on administration environment, computer hardware configuration, and distractions. Results indicate that minor differences in hardware configurations may have a significant effect on test results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>

Project management software provides an active learning component to the study of project management principles. Prior literature indicates that active learning contributes to student success when students are actively engaged both inside and outside the classroom.</span></span></p>
