Our research and curriculum are offered via our proprietary learning management system, the Krystal Educational Platform.
Constantly Evolving
DECT will constantly evolve, always containing the fundamental technologies that are or will be making the greatest impact. In the realm of software: blockchain, data analytics, artificial intelligence, Fintech, Biotech, computer-aided design and the Metaworld, have already transformed the financial, medical, manufacturing and the entertainment industries.
What is DECT?
Propagated by smartphones, drones, and Big Data, the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0) has led to the creation of a new digital economy underpinned by new technologies and skillsets. Working together with global leading open sources software developers, educators, and industry practitioners, Krystal Institute has defined DECT: core technologies and innovative fields that serve as the common denominator of progress in the digital economy. DECT can be divided under the themes of Digital Arts and Production, Science and Engineering, Digital Literacy, and DECT Studies.
Excel in the Digital Economy
In terms of hardware: the internet of things, robotics, additive manufacturing, next-generation wireless technologies, 3D printing, and cloud computing have been coupled together to create complex autonomous systems. Meanwhile, user-oriented technologies such as Metaworld, virtual reality, gamification, and user experience (UI/UX) design draw biological beings ever closer together through the binary world. Pragmatic educators should deliver education that aligns with the scope of DECT, nurturing learners who will grow to excel in the digital economy.
