Can someone tell me what the interaction ID number and Objective ID is for when it comes to LMS?
Does it matter if my ID for different SCORMS are the same?

The problem is I went and made 40 SCORMS from within the same base template file. (Didn't want to keep making changes to all my settings everytime i made a new SCORM) Just realized that this might have a weird effect on my LMS.. does anyone know anything about it?

If you want to track interactions, this is how you'd do it. Tracking
interactions generally relates to writing the user's result and the
expected/proper result to the LMS. By assigning a unique ID for each
interaction, you can tell which response was made to what interaction.

Interaction IDs have to be unique within a specific SCO but do not need
to be unique across SCOs (I think). So when you run a report for a given
SCO in your LMS, you should be able to see interaction results (ID, user
response, correct response).

So, you should be fine with what you've done. However, it definitely
depends on whether your LMS has any problem with repeated IDs. I don't
think it should but LMS implementations/specs are widely varied...
