I bet this is a common problem, but I think Andrea has made the key point here. 
If they are using computer-lab machines, it doesn’t matter that whether they 
can install / configure the machines, or convince the sysadmin to do it, or use 
a pre-packaged virtual environment or one of these other solutions. 

In any of these cases they will not be taking home their working environment.

Is there a possibility to give participants the *option* to use their own 
laptops, and those who can’t do this could use the institutional systems?
