Abstract
ABSTRACT
 
 Students’ engagement can be defined as how much time, commitment, and effort is devoted to the learning process. Students’ engagement is an important element in learning because it is a factor that affects academic success. During the emergency online learning due to covid-19 pandemic, some problems emerged because of the lack of learning engagement. This descriptive study was aimed to find out the problems faced by the students and the lecturers during the online learning as well as the tips to build learning engagement. The study was carried out in July 2020 to the students and the lecturers of Harapan Bangsa University. The data obtained from questionnaire and semi structured interview showed that although the implementation of online learning has been good, there were still some problems to be solved. Moreover, learning engagement was absolutely required during the online learning. It is expected that the result of this study may be useful for lecturers in designing the effective online learning and also for the students in understanding their role during the learning process.

Summary
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, people are faced with a new era, namely the New Normal. New Normal is a new order, habit, and behavior based on adaptation to cultivate a clean and healthy life (Ministry of Health, 2020). At this time, people have to get used to new life patterns such as wearing masks, hand washing habits, social distancing, changing working hours, and online learning. The online learning system has existed for a long time and has been implemented by several institutions. When face-to-face teaching and learning activities are eliminated and all educational institutions are required to carry out online learning, it does not mean that online learning can run smoothly without any obstacles. The students are required to be autonomous learners.
