Abstract: The purpose of this study is to construct a web-based learning platform of Computer Support for Collaborative Design (CSCD) based on theories related to a constructivist learning environment model, mind mapping and computer-supported collaborative learning. The platform conforms to the needs of design students and provides effective tools for interaction and collaborative learning by integrating the tools of mind mapping into a learning environment that utilizes CSCD, a computer-assisted support system that can support and enhance group collaboration. The establishment of the CSCD learning platform represents a significant advance from the fixed functions and existing models of current online learning platforms and is the only learning platform in the world that focuses on learners in design departments. The platform is outstanding for its excellence, user-friendly functions, and innovative technology. In terms of funding, technical ability, human resources, organizational strategies, and risk analysis and evaluations, the learning platform is also worthy of expansion and implementation.
