The data collection tool in the present study was a semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire. Thematic analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the research data. Findings showed that simultaneous and asynchronous online assessment methods have a positive and significant effect on teaching and learning processes of Lorestan University students.
