Our research objectives include constructing a collaborative learning support system that detects appropriate situation for a learner to join in a collaborative learning session, and forms a collaborative learning group appropriate for the situation dynamically. In this paper, we describe the outline of a system of concepts concerning learning goals expected to attain by learners through collaborative learning process with justification by the learning theories. Then we show an example of usage of the ontology: Opportunistic Group Formation. With the ontology, it will be possible for computer systems and novice educators to form effective collaborative learning groups with justification of learning theories.
