string zipCurFile = model.ScormPackageFile.FileName;
string destinationDirectoryName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(zipCurFile);
Directory.CreateDirectory(destinationDirectoryName);

You need to give modify permissions for the parent directory to the app pool identity user. This is something that you would do through Windows Explorer and not through IIS Manager.

Right-click the target directory and choose Properties > Security. Edit the permissions for that directory, add the user that your application pool is using and give that user Modify permissions to that folder.

Assuming that you are creating the directory C:\Files\ZipTarget\Scorm and the C:\Files\ZipTarget directory already exists, you will need to give the app pool identity user Modify permission to the C:\Files\ZipTarget directory.
