I seek some help regarding the difference between collision domain and
broadcast domain. According to my knowledge only one computer in
collision domain can transfer packets at a time. All the computers in
the broadcast domain will be listening to all the packets.

If this is wrong, please correct me.

Broadcast domain is the logical set of computers reachable without
going through a router. For most IP broadcasts, the broadcast domain is
limited to the logical IP subnet.

Collision domain is at a lower layer, and refers to the set of
devices that there could be a packet collision with. The collision
domain could include devices in other IP subnets. wikipedia.org says,

A collision domain can be a single segment of Ethernet cable in
shared-media Ethernet, or a single Ethernet hub in twisted-pair
Ethernet, or even a whole network of hubs and repeaters.

Collision domain is on hub type of device or same segment of Ethernet.
Broadcasting domain means such as between Ethernet segment or switch.
