Students' engagement is the high level of students' cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement in teaching-learning activity. This article research aimed to investigate the effects of collaborative classroom activities on student engagement in the virtual classroom. This research is mix-method research that consists of qualitative and quantitative research. The independent variable is collaborative classroom activities, and the dependent variable is students' engagement. The subjects of this research are students in two different universities in Lampung. The researchers use questionnaires to collect the quantitative data and employ observation and take notes to collect the qualitative data. TPT Cognitive Engagement Model and Quadrant Analysis are used by the researchers for analyzing the data of research. The findings show the same level of students' engagement in both quadrants three and four in both classes taught by both researchers. Analysis of students' engagement can be analyzed accurately if the use of peer-coaching techniques is carried out. In addition, the material on subject writing can be studied effectively, and students can also get motivated through collaborative learning based on research survey data.
