🎓 Digital Literacy Simulator

"Train users how to use justice tech"

An interactive learning platform with tutorials, mock court flows, practice filing exercises, and an AI coach — designed to close the digital literacy gap for justice system users.


🔍 Problem

Digital literacy gaps are massive. Many court users — especially older adults, low-income families, and rural residents — have never filed a document online, navigated a court portal, or used video conferencing for a hearing. When courts go digital without training, these users get left behind.

💡 Solution

The Digital Literacy Simulator provides interactive tutorials, mock court environments, practice filing workflows, and an AI coach — so users can learn and practice before their real court experience.

🎯 Impact

  • First-time court users learn the process before stakes are real
  • Courts reduce help desk volume and failed filings
  • Legal aid orgs train clients at scale
  • Older adults build confidence with court technology
