In Taiwan, cooperative teaching, team teaching, and other teaching methods have long been used in classes in schools at all levels. Also, education is beyond the classroom. In an age of the Internet, people can even use e-Learning through the Internet. Confronted with a time in which teaching keeps evolving, many teachers begin to attend seminars, go to lessons, do online learing, and so on, to improve their teaching ability, wishing to keep pace with the times. Some remote areas in Taiwan have poor education resources, and if teachers take a trip to the actual research and study, the distant journey alone will have wasted the teachers a lot of energy and time; it is thought in this research that the current e-Learning may provide an efficient self-improvement method for those teachers in remote areas. Hierarchy structure of factors affecting the teachers’ intention in remote areas to use e-Learning is established in this research through the literature review and Modified Delphi Method, and respective weight of these factors is calculated with analytic hierarchy process so as to conduct consistence test and ranking, and understand the factors affecting the use of e-Learning of junior high school teachers in remote areas. The results suggest that junior high school teachers in remote areas hope to obtain accurate knowledge with learnability and improve their professional knowledge and skills in limited time with the most efficient and the most energy saving method through the e-Learning network with excellent system quality and information quality. The findings can be used by the Ministry of Education as a direction for the improvement of e-Learning for the promotion of teachers' professions so as to enhance the education quality in remote areas.
