SCORM is a collection of specifications taken from various sources so that e-learning can take place with the following in mind: interoperability, reusability and accessible Web-based content. Indeed, SCORM-compliant learning object is a collection of resources which is described by metdata, organized as one or more learning objects (aka SCO), and is intended to be delivered to the learner via a Web-browser.
SCORM-compliant LMS system accepts any SCORM-compliant content and make it available to the LMSs’ users. This system delivers and launches the content to the learner in the provided run-time environment which must meet certain requirements defined by the SCORM specification and conformance requirement document. The content which is delivered to the learner is launched in a web browser window.
It is possible to have a SCORM implementation without the use of an internet or a network but a closed intranet will also be fine.
Some advantages of SCORM are that once you published it, it can be accessed very easily everywhere you want, thus content life is longer. Content is difficult to become obsolete since it is easier to justify ongoing compatibility with standard content. Also, you do not need to worry about technical incompatibilities, but you are free to get pieces of information from here and there and mix the content as you wish.
I suggest that you visit this site http://www.sumtotalsystems.com/resources/toolbook/community_scorm.html as it helped me a lot to further understand SCORM and all its stuff.
