With the advent of the Covid-19 Disease students have been forced to adapt to online learning platforms at home. With the reopening of schools, students will be thrust back into a face-to-face learning environment, now with more limitations and restrictions implemented. Wi-Fi Direct offers an infrastructure free bridge to aid students in this transition and improve their learning. This paper explores the use of a Wi-Fi Direct based Quizzing and Information Dispersion System, consisting of a client and a server both running on an Android Platform. The Application utilizes Wi-Fi direct technologies to provide the learning benefits of a digital online based environment without the need for Internet Infrastructure within the classroom.
