Upper secondary education during school closures was first and foremost emergency education related to a societal crisis. But in addition to being emergency education, it was an experiment in virtual teaching. With this in mind, this article examines students' experience of virtual teaching, with a particular focus on their experience of academic mastery and motivation. Empirically, the article is based on a mixed method design with quantitative data from questionnaire data from students (N = 2899) collected in April 2020 and focus group interviews with students (N = 44) collected in April-June 2020. The article shows that especially the academic motivation was low. On the basis of the article's analyses, a number of themes are identified that can be reflected on in relation to future virtual teaching in upper secondary schools.
