Here's a white paper that may provide some inspiration:

The general idea is to add a few extensions to the manifest and RTE that enable a learning object to call on a collaborative learning tool (e.g., discussion thread).

Michael,

Although feasible, it might not be the best idea. The reason for that is that SCORM works really well as individual self-paced training. But trying to want more out of it, it would be -using one of your analogies: trying to make veggie burgers taste like meat burgers 😉

Here's an interesting interview with Dan Rehak on the CETIS website:

Now, for full collaborative tools + content, just use LAMS (www.lamsfoundation.org), which is also open source. More about LAMS later.
