Rungchat Chompu-inwai1 and Toni L. Doolen (2006), This research focused on studying

the impact of using laptops in a required undergraduate-level engineering course at Oregon

State University (OSU) in Winter 2004 and Winter 2005. The individual usage of laptops

with wireless capability both inside and outside classrooms in Winter 2005 was found to

positively impact student learning outcomes and assist in the achievement of class learning
objectives. No significant differences in attitudes were found in either year. Student attitudes

towards laptops and the usage of laptops were unchanged by the introduction of laptops in

both years.

Moses, P. et al (2008)The study focus on empowering the teachers with the latest technology

through training and concluded that laptop usage in the study as an instructional tool is an

effective media to enhance students learning.

DAGMAR (Defining Advertising Goals for Measured Advertising Results) model of advertising
has also been reviewed by Lautman and Hsieh (1993). Brown (1985) proposes a 'mental
model' of the communicative power of an ad which says that: Communication power = Visibility
x Relevance or Persuasiveness of what is recalled. Other behavior- oriented consumer learning
models and attitude-dominant consumer models described in the literature also helped the
researcher to further the understanding of how advertising works.
Brit (1950) deals with four theories of Consumer Behaviour in connection with Advertising.
To assess the effectiveness of advertisements, there have been two streams of research.

Jeong,( 2004). One stream of research focuses on the psychological aspects of advertising
impact and the other focuses on the sales and market response aspects of advertising effects.
The term “advertising” is defined as “a paid non-personal communication from an identified
sponsor using mass media to persuade or influence an audience”
Wells, Burnett & Moriarty2003 Among the other functions of advertising highlighted in this
definition, the most important is the persuasion factor which is the consequence of the rest of the
functions. An advertisement should have the potential to differentiate one product or service
from others so as to produce a desired persuasive effect.

Jeong, 2004 Creative Advertising and its Effectiveness


If an advertisement does not produce the required impact, it can be assumed as ineffective and as
such the substantial amount of money that companies spend on advertising their products
