karmali, I still couldn't understand your depression regarding teaching Office  & Computing courses using Moodle, as every time I look at Moodle, the one thing that comes into my mind is "Possibilities are endless!". I have taught Ms Office to University Students at one point (MBA Classes), and from there I started using moodle to organize the course.

As you mentioned, "looking around for resources" you meant to say you want to use tutorials created by someone else that you can use on moodle? (At least I assumed that from your post, that you looked into database of content), that made me think that you MAY have took moodle as pre-built repository of courses that one can choose from to build their moodle upon? is this you took moodle as?


As far as SCORM packages are concerned, I dont know of any who made on Office training and made it available for public usage, though you can create your own SCORM packages using site, http://exelearning.org/ (Their new site is located at http://exelearning.net/?lang=en). Else there are plenty SCORM authoring tools available for a price.

Else, a very useful link from Moodle's own documents http://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Creating_SCORM_Content.

Elefteria, if you are just starting up, there are 2 sites that i would recommend going to, as they are free and they will provide you moodle already installed.

www.mdl2.com

www.gnomio.com

Both are same, its upto you how you would like to see your URL as, because they are though free services but you'll be getting a domain like elefteria.mdl2.com / elefteria.gnomio.com to start with. You can start your courses there, and it will be more than sufficient to host 200+ students as I am aware of there server config and they are brutal. 

They as well provide you with option of pointing your own domain name to your moodle site for a small fee.

I would ditto Damyon's suggestion in this regard, not that I am aware of or have experienced or seen a plug-in getting downgraded in moodle, only safest possible way is to uninstall and then re-install the older version. 

This just works like a software application inside your computer, if you are trying to install an older version over a new already install, you'll get error that a new version is found installed in the system. (Exception occur like in case of Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite, that lets you install multiple versions at the same time)

Fabio, are you on self hosted server or hosting with CPanel?

secondly, As per my thoughts, one can't hide the /moodle from URL, as websites are just like your computer explorer, so if you are referring to the file, you cannot take away the sub folder from the address, same goes for websites. As "moodle" being a sub folder you cannot just eliminate it from your address. Other thing you could (on in my recommendation, should) have done is given some other name to moodle directory, like lms, vle, cms, learning etc.
