Self-Regulated Writing Activities (SRWA) are well reckoned for professional, pedagogical, and practical contributions to classroom practices. Collaborative writing as one stage of these instructional designs has not received significant attention, and the implementation of Mobile Platforms-Based Collaborative Writing (MMCW) should be investigated further for its urgency in language learning. Therefore, the current study examines the impact of MMCW incorporation into SRWA to promote students’ performance, delving into the students’ writing quality after classroom intervention and exploring students’ perception of using mobile platforms in SRWA. The study employed a mixed method, which consisted of quantitative research, one group pre-and post-test experimental design and semi-structured interviews for qualitative research, which involved twenty students from a private university in Indonesia. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the tests, document analysis to writing quality, and thematic analysis to interview. The results show an impressive difference in students’ writing from the pre-test to the post-test. The increase in students’ writing quality is demonstrated in linguistic diversity, mechanical details, development of ideas, writing formation, and language use. Moreover, students positively perceive implementing mobile platforms into self-regulated writing activities. The implications and recommendations of the study are also discussed. © 2024 by the authors.
