This paper presents an improved framework for the development and enhancement of critical-thinking skills through Collaborative Learning System via concept map and Collaborative Learning Objects (C-LOs) as one of the primary goals of technology education. Collaborative learning model is drawing much attention among researchers providing learners with maximizing learning autonomy in finding the suitable C-LOs (e.g. learning lessons, learning assets or learning packages) from knowledge web domain. The proposed collaborative virtual environment framework encourages the construction of knowledge using C-LOs that can be assembled with Learning Object Metadata (LOM) and resources to provide larger instructional sequences in courses delivery. This paper discusses the design and development of a Concept Map Web-based Learning System (CMWLS) using concept mapping, establishing the relationship between C-LOs and regulates in collaborative learning system. This paper highlights the features of CMWLS: (1) Assisting the students to include, adapt, manipulate and organize the learning objects in designing the hierarchical outline of the concept map in their learning path; (2) Application of Virtual Collaborative Sessions (VCS) by locating and identifying suitable C-LOs; (3) CMWLS is
evaluated in the lessons form of simulations, drill-and-practice and assessments in conducting course delivery emphasis on facts, concepts, principles, procedures and processes; (4) CMWLS is designed to allow learners to generate and design their concept maps in achieving flexible paths towards student learning’s process.
