Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the causal relation model of cognitive absorption and perceived learning through the mediating role of cognitive engagement and perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness through path analysis. Method: To do so, the sample of study included 273 students of virtual courses from Shiraz Payame Noor University selected through random sampling, and were asked to answer questionnaires of Cognitive Engagement (Wang& Eccles, 2013), Cognitive Absorption (Agarwal & Karahana, 2000) Perceived Learning (Rovai& et al, 2009), Perceived Ease of Use (Hsu & Lu, 2004) and Perceived Usefulness (Kim& et al,2007) subscales. Results: Overall, the results indicated the indirect effects of cognitive absorption components on perceived learning. Conclusions: The results showed cognitive absorption and their components through cognitive engagement and perceived ease of use and perceived effect on perceived learning, as control and curiosity through cognitive engagement and perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have direct and indirect effect on perceived learning and temporal dissociation, focused immersion and heightened enjoyment, through cognitive engagement and perceived usefulness had indirect effect on perceived learning. The whole variables in this study explain 42% of changes in the perceived learning.
