Abstract
Sociotechnical systems analysis is a term frequently used in computer supported collaborative work that refers to the interaction between people and technology. Technology adoption can be seen as consisting of both a social and technical system. This paper will provide a sociotechnical analysis of an implementation of Second Life, an online virtual world, into an undergraduate English course at a large public university. The paper will 1) describe the pilot course, 2) analyze affinities from a sociotechnical systems perspective, and finally 3) give recommendations based on lessons learned from implementing Second Life in an undergraduate English course.
