Moodle 1.9 contained a feature called the IMS Repository - this feature had a range of bugs and has not been ported to Moodle 2.0 at this stage. For more details see MDL-28579.

What is the difference between an IMS content package and a SCORM package?

The main difference is that IMS is mainly for "static" content - SCORM allows tracking of question/answers and reports a "grade" at the end.

If you want to do any tracking/grading then use SCORM - if you just want to display some content to the user - use IMS.

Any further questions?

Please post in the Resource types forum on moodle.org.
