In contrast with the decision of hiding Labs and displaying only those for which workshop is to be done. This is the observation and slight disadvantages -

  1. Three parameters are to be changed to hide the Lab ( Set Course Start date to future date, Remove "Anytime" and set Invitation Only to True)
  2. Above three parameters are to be reverted to un-hide the Lab.
  3. We are packaging 73 labs, but with the approach of hiding, students will never come to know what all do we have in for them.

Among all, point 3 is something which is displaying a limit to what we offer. Instead of hiding Labs, we can configure it to be not available for enrolment. This has following advantages -

  1. All Labs are visible in Course Catalog, but not available for enrolment.
  2. Students can see what all things are available for use, but can't use until there is a mutual agreement between workshop coordinator and them.
  3. By changing just one parameter( Set Invitation Only to False), Workshop coordinator can allow students to enrol themselves.
