To be able to properly explain is the soul bridge between exhibition display and the visitor. Other than explanation in writing and in audio, the most dynamic explanation is the human interaction, i.e., guide. Guides act as a media between museum and visitors. How to effectively uplift the professional knowledge and explanation capability of volunteer guides? In current digital information era, the methodology of training these guides, in addition to the traditional face-to-face training, is that museum provides time-free and space-free digital learning and training environment. This digital training environment becomes an important training methodology to raise the quality of explanation by these guides. This research is based on the real system work, using TAM to study the degree of the acceptance under digital training environment of these volunteer guides. Based on the questionnaire research study, 178 valid samples are collected. This paper studies these samples, using the factor analysis, regression analysis and path analysis methods. The research result shows there is a positive relationship between the experience of using computer/computer self-effectiveness toward perceived usefulness/perceived ease of use. The computer anxiety user has negative relationship with perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. For the guides who show interested in using digital training, the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have positive impact. The first critical factor under study is perceived usefulness. It explanation variance is 20.19%. From the point of view of volunteer guides, perceived usefulness is an important factor to consider. The second factor is the experience of using computer. The explanation variance is 15.04%. The 6 critical factors reach 74.35% of cumulative explanation variance. This means that the situated training E-learning system has demonstrated the meaning impact. At last, this study recommends museum can improve the level of computer anxiety user by expanding the situated digital training learning system. Museum can held computer-related training camp to uplift the utilization of the situated digital training learning system.
