Introduction
The MOOC Workbench is an external workbench with which you can follow interactive tutorials and make evaluation of your work directly within the FreeCAD interface. The MOOC workbench offers 2 tools: interactive tutorials and evaluations.
- Currently only in French (and hard-coded).
- Only compatible with FreeCAD Py3 and Qt5 (PySide2)
- LGPLv2 (or similar) code funded by Europe through IMT and EESAB.
- Modular: This workbench was created with the intention that the addition of tutorials and evaluations was modular. In other words, one has to add a tutorial in the lessons folder or an evaluation in the exercises folder to show up in the respective tool.
Interactive
Interactive tutorials (AKA 
Player) are step-by-step guided exercises with objective checks. It launches directly into FreeCAD and allows you to advance one step at a time of modeling of an object. The user has a text, a video and above all a check that the objectives have been achieved.

Evaluations
Evaluations (AKA 
Grader) consist of a small program that checks certain criteria of a FreeCAD document, for example, the presence of a part body, a sketch or the final volume.

Technical Details
From a technical point of view, the workbench is composed of:
- an "API" that contains the code that analyzes the document (MoocChecker.py)
- the code that executes the tutorials in the "lessons" folder (MoocPlayer.py)
- the code that executes the evaluations in the "exercises" folder (MoocGrader.py)
Roadmap
- internationalization of the workbench
- Integration of videos in FreeCAD (PySide2.QtWebEngineWidgets?)
