Hi Thomas,
<blockquote> I'm wondering if there is a way to make content for SCORM users and
sell it.
</blockquote>
Sure, you can use Reload to create and put together your courses. http://www.reload.ac.uk/
<blockquote> Is that done? Or is SCORM really just used within cooperative groups?
</blockquote>
No, SCORM is self-paced and very much individual centric. Think old CBTs for the web.
<blockquote> Or is content generally just given away?
</blockquote>
No. Actually a lot of companies make money selling their courses to organizations.
<blockquote> If content is sold or shared
at large, is there a repository somewhere where I can scan content to
determine if I want it? Thanks, Thomas
</blockquote>
I'm not really aware of SCORM-only repositories, but there are a few of other http://elearning.utsa.edu/guides/LO-repositories.htm
Additionally, the fellows at CMU have come up with the infrastructure they think it is required for SCORM repositories: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/wya/scorm-nsdl/dodds1.ppt. It's some interesting stuff.
LORS is a repository that accomodate for both, SCORM and IMS packages.
