Student engagement is an important component to learning. It has shown a connection to higher academic achievements among students who are more engaged. Student engagement in collaborative writing is required to ensure the success of the group in achieving the goal. However, due to Covid-19 circumstances, collaborative writing projects among the academic writing students had to be carried out online. The objectives of this study are to assess the overall student engagement in online collaborative writing projects, and investigate the differences in their responses based on gender. Male and female student engagement was found to be more influenced by participation attribute, followed by performance, emotions and skills. Female students' way to participate was by engaging in online conversation, while male students prefer to get to know their team members. Both groups, however, did not prefer to make regular post on online forums. Future research is suggested to include peer evaluation as a method to verify online student engagement in collaborative writing projects.
