I believe there is a known "feature" for this website and forum that does some auto-correct when a user attempts to string multiple capital letters in a title or maybe even in a sentence. I suspect that is what happened here.
One of my next steps to watch more of them and rate them.
So far, the ones aimed for beginners are pretty simple. The one on identification was a quick zoom video showing an example of how the collector identified the issuing country using text on stamp, a Scott catalogue, and a little reasoning.
One challenge for worldwide beginners is that they may not have access to a set of Scott catalogues. My county library has no reference section and few books on stamps.
In the company I used to work for, education was wrapped around the word edutainment.
