# Student Selection Branching

## **Using student selection for branching**

Using this branching type, you -**the teacher, get to create branches and then allow students to select which branch they want to take.** Additionally, you can allow students to take one or more branches. &#x20;

### Creating student selection branching

This pushes the decision as to which branch to take to the students. So as a teacher, you can offer different learning patch (branches) and then let the student select which one (or more than one) to use.&#x20;

### Student selecting learning path in lesson

Once a student reach the branching starting point, then student is prompted to select a learning path. If the teacher allows the students to select more than one learning path, then on completion of the first selected, then the student will be able to select another one.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lamsfoundation.org/lams/tools/branching/student-selection-branching.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
