The title of the research is “An analysis of internet based information technology modelling in improving human resources quality (an empirical study of students and college students in Central Java)”. The objective of this research is to determine the structural connection model of internet based information technology adoption towards the human resources quality. The population and sample of this research is students and college students in Central Java Province. The methods used in this research are instruments test, descriptive analysis, path diagram model analysis and web based information system planning. The results show that; 1) the contributions of technology investment and top management support were the most dominant in the internet based information technology adoption, 2) the quality of learning media and teachers became a dominant factor in learning system development, 3) internet based information technology adoption affected the human resources quality significantly through the learning system, however, without the learning system the internet based information technology adoption did not affect the human resources quality significantly. Thus, the information technology adoption will be effective to improve the human resources quality if it is framed in a learning system framework, 4) e-learning based learning model had a significant direct effect to the human resources quality, 5) internet based learning system model, i.e. e-learning had more value than the other learning systems in building a more effective interaction between the teacher and the students. Students were able to make a discussion, do the task, answer any question in a test, and access the learning material anytime without time and areal limit.
