Experimentation is crucial in science teaching at any education level. Students´ motivation and collaborative work are also essential in order to achieve positive learning outcomes. This article portrays the implementation of remote experimentation using VISIR in a Physics subject at high-school level. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed for this particular case study in order to shed light on the influence of VISIR on students´ motivation. Results showed that VISIR remote lab is a powerful tool to arouse interest in electronic circuit topics.
