Question: Imagine your software design and development class as a system. It contains physical components such as windows, a door, lights, the computers, tables and chairs. Students in the classroom and the teacher, this textboo igt, sunlight, electricity, network connections, certain times during the week when the class is timetabled, all these things contribute to the system.

Im not sure about this, but just considering it, I believe the walls of the classroom would be the boundaries. This is as far as the system extends, and outside these it is no longer in the domain of the system. Don't take my word for it as i'm just speculating. But anyway, thats my take on it.
