The present study was conducted with the aim of designing an online assessment model that was designed in response to the needs of modern educational methods and focused on the theory of connectivism. The method of implementation of this research is mixed and the statistical population in the qualitative part includes written scientific sources and experts in the field of education and in the quantitative part, junior high school students. Sampling in the qualitative part was carried out by snowball method to select experts and non-probability purposeful method to select resources. In this process, ۳۲ titles of books and articles were identified to extract the necessary codes and ۱۳ experts were identified to conduct interviews. Also, sampling in the quantitative part was carried out randomly, during which ۴۰ people were selected in two groups of ۲۰ people. Bartlett test was used to confirm the adequacy of the sample in the quantitative part. The data collection tool in the qualitative part included semi-structured interviews and in the quantitative part, a teacher-made test based on the principles of connectivism. The qualitative data were analyzed using the grounded theory approach and multi-stage coding, and the quantitative data were analyzed using    software and the analysis of covariance test tool. After designing the model, its validity was confirmed twice using the test-retest reliability method and the two-coder agreement method. Four main components were identified for the desired model, which are teacher, learner, tools, and methods. Then, the correspondence of the codes used in designing the model with the subcategories of Fink's dir="RTL" >
