The research found inhibiting factors in the form of low learning culture, weak supervision, low perception of the relevance of PJJ to work, differences between what is recorded in the system and what is found in the field, and technical problems such as networks, devices, and digital literacy. Meanwhile, the driving factors include innovative aspects of the learning system, cost savings, the possibility factors include innovative aspects of the learning system, cost savings, the possibility to study anywhere an anytime, opportunities for cross regional collaboration without distance restrictions,  and the adaptability of participants and widyaiswara. After the inhibiting factors are obtained, then, an LMS development model is produced that adheres to five principles, namely flexibility, consistency, efficiency, monitoring and evaluation, and function.  These principles are supported by individual, social, cultural and technical factors from external organizers. Guided by this model, the implementation of PJJ is expected to be even better and become a capable Human Research  development strategy in creating smart ASN and bureaucratic reform
