  5. Social Failure • The nets are difficult to obtain. • It’s critical that the people designing a program consider not only form and function, but distribution channels as well. • Without considering the whole system, the nets cannot be widely distributed, which makes the eradication of malaria impossible.

  13. The Swiss cheese model of accident causation illustrates that, although many layers of defense lie • between hazards and accidents, there are flaws in each layer that, if aligned, can allow the accident to occur.

  14. Sociotechnical Systems • Technology subsystems and components • And • Societal, political, economic, organisational features impact

  15. Education Complexity Overview

  16. Socio-technical Systems Thinking From sociotechnical perspective, it is impossible to separate the organisational or social issues from the technical issues. Instead the organisation and the technology are interwoven to form a sociotechnical system. Where traditional requirements analysis focuses on what the technology should do (i.e. in terms of its functionality), sociotechnical analysis looks at how the technology will be incorporated into work activities. This type of analysis is based on the observation that implementing a successful technology requires a thorough understanding of the organisational context, such as the organisation’s structure, work, employees, students needs and demand.
