Academic motivation is fundamental for student interaction in the educational process. This led to new questions about how to explore the effects on students' academic motivation in the virtual classroom. The current research aims to try to identify the effectiveness of virtual classrooms in developing academic motivation across groups of boys and girls in the professional master's degree. The participants are students of the second academic level of the professional master in the educational technology program, who were divided into two experimental groups (one group for boys and the other for girls). The two groups studied the "interactive multimedia" course through virtual classrooms. To achieve the aim of the study, the academic motivation scale was used as a study tool. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the use of virtual classes on the development of academic motivation across groups of boys and girls.
