WEEK 7 [18-24.01.2016] The Future of the University: Speculative Design for Innovation in Higher Education
I would like to present an article
about new trends in higher education. In my opinion education in traditional
university is a waste of time. During five years of studies young people learn
a lot of useless knowledge. This essay proposes five models of innovation in
higher education envisioning educational start-ups in the spirit of
entrepreneurial experimentation. The author seeks to realize each of these
feasible utopias as a way to disrupt higher education.
Having read
this article could you reply to
these questions?
- Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
- Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
Polymath University is built on the educational philosophy that
creativity and innovative thinking emerge from the mashing-up of disparate
ideas, from the ability to make connections between what appears to be
different concepts. Students
choose from a "menu" of three
majors: the professions, the sciences and social sciences, and the arts and
humanities. Students could not take major in English, History, and Philosophy,
or Finance, Marketing, and Accounting. Instead, they would choose triple majors
in History, Accounting, and Biology, for example, or Finance, English, and
Chemistry. Polymath
University induces such creative potential in students by inviting them to
explore three different idea-spaces in depth. Because they will be asked to
transfer concepts and ideas from three disparate areas of knowledge, students
at Polymath University learn to become flexible and creative interdisciplinary
thinkers.
Nomad University. To educate nomadic knowledge workers, Nomad
University has no fixed physical location. The spot where learning occurs
shifts around the globe, with professors and students seeking out problems and
experiences anywhere in the world. Perhaps they seek to solve an engineering
problem in sub-Saharan Africa, mediate clashes between the police and the
community in an American urban core, or design a software solution for a global
multinational. Each
"course" at Nomad University is organized around a specific problem.
The faculty mentor identifies the problem, likely grounded in a specific
research question. Then via a virtual network, the students and the professor
decide on the nature of the problem and the outcomes for completion (success).
They assemble at a location determined by the professor, where they will work
together on the problem for a specified period of time. When the participants
and their clients are satisfied and some equilibrium solution has been
achieved, the student-faculty ensemble disassembles until they meet again in
another location to work on a new and different problem.
Interface University focuses on the idea that machines will not — indeed
cannot — supplant human cognition. The curriculum presumes that humans and
computers thinking together are better than humans or computers thinking alone,
and that thinking with machines allows students to engage in a level of
cognition not possible with the human brain alone. Thus, at Interface University
students will learn how to "think with computers." At Interface University, faculty and
students treat the computer not as a tool but as a "third hemisphere"
of the brain, and higher learning means developing a metaphorical "corpus
callosum" with this digital hemisphere.
The Neo-Liberal Arts College teaches broad, practical intellective skills that are
ready-made for action in the world, and students develop fluency in these
skills. The college has no majors or electives: a degree from the Neo-Liberal
Arts College signals competence in each of these 10 skills:
- Sense-making: the ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressed
- Social intelligence: the ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactions
- Novel and adaptive thinking: proficiency at thinking and coming up with solutions and responses beyond that which is rote or rule-based
- Cross-cultural competency: the ability to operate in different cultural settings
- Computational thinking: the ability to translate vast amounts of data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoning
- New-media literacy: the ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms, and to leverage these media for persuasive communication
- Transdisciplinarity: literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplines Design mindset: the ability to represent and develop tasks and work processes for desired outcomes
- Cognitive load management: the ability to discriminate and filter information for importance, and to understand how to maximize cognitive functioning using a variety of tools and techniques
- Virtual collaboration: the ability to work productively, drive engagement, and demonstrate presence as a member of a virtual team.
Ludic University (or the University of Play) makes play the highest form of learning, well above
the acquisition and production of knowledge. Engaging in play turns out to be
related to the processes used by artists,31 so the activities within Ludic
University look much like the kinds of activities artists engage in. If the
seminar room and the laboratory define the modern research university, then the
studio defines Ludic University. The university has no set curriculum, no
prescribed set of courses to follow. Students follow their curiosity, exploring
those subjects necessary to satisfy that curiosity on an as-needed basis. Ludic University students explore novelty and engage
in generative creation: imagining that which does not exist, bringing the new
into being. Capturing imaginative activity in public symbolic form
defines the central activity of Ludic University. Students
of the University-as-Playground engage in world-making, with players building
pretend worlds, inhabiting them, playing in them, and role playing within these
imaginary environments. Students and faculty also transgress the rules, invent
new rules, and play games based on these new rules.

Thank you for this interesting article.
ReplyDeleteIt is a promising fact that there are people who are not afraid to experiment in order to improve higher education.
I think traditional universities are not bad but still need improvement and enhancements so I would be more inclined to choose the Polymath University. I totally agree that combining several disciplines enhances creative thinking and problem solving skills. I would combine Polymath University with The Neo-Liberal Arts College, Ludic University courses and similar to Nomad University internships. By the way Nomad University in addition to its enjoyable side related to traveling seems to me quite an audacious idea bringing the question of how a group of unexperienced students lacking of knowledge can solve complex problems where a specific, professional skills are needed. I would certainly not choose Interface University as the only academic course because I remember that during my studies not only the subjects were important but also the contact with professors and people who achieved the best results in their domains.
You're right. It's hard to decide which way of studying to choose and in fact combining some methods would be a good solution. I also think that focusing on the personal contact with academics is a crucial matter.
DeleteI think that traditional university in not that bad as presented in the article. Some people forget that studying requires some independent work and research. On most universities there are a number of students' scientific associations that help in research and development.
ReplyDeleteFrom the university models presented in the article you posted I'd pick the Polymath University. Frankly, it's not that innovative as presented in the article, in fact couple of universities in Poland have something called individual cross-domain studies, where students learns different disciplines and choose their specialization after 2nd year. There are also more cross-domain courses, like for example bioinformatics.
Nomad University reminds me of a dialogue in "Pulp fiction" movie, when Jules says he want's to quit and walk the earth and Vincent says: "They got a name for that Jules, it's called a bum" :)
Maybe the idea of Nomad University is too far fetched. I also doubt the assembly of quite different people from all over the world can figure out how to deal with the problem. It's more a kind of an experiment,fun. You are right "traditional" Polish universities take a lot from so called Polymath University and maybe that's why the level of education in Poland is still high.
DeleteThank you for this interesting article, education is the topic I feel very strongly about too. I agree that traditional studies are a bit of waste of time. During them there are a lot of subjects that seem to be chosen quite randomly to fill the gap in the program. And the reality often shows that traditional studies only teach how to pass exams.
ReplyDeleteFrom your article I actually like a lot all of the universities. I like the idea of Nomad University where students face and have to solve real life problems. I think this is exactly what our education system is missing at every level - people are forced to learn things with no idea why and where this knowledge can be useful. I find learning a lot more efficient (not to mention much more matching real life experience) if it goes other way around – you have a problem and you have to find necessary information to solve it. It also captures another thing I find very useful in learning – working in teams, the more diverse the group is, the better (up to certain level maybe) because apart from learning from the project itself the participants can learn from each other.
Concerning what Joanna said I think lack of knowledge sometimes can be an advantage because it implies that you don’t know what is impossible and it allows you to show an entirely creative approach.
I like idea of Polymath University especially that students have to choose disciplines that are not related – I agree that cross disciplinary approach seems to be important in creativity. I actually finished interdisciplinary studies and I think it gave me certain level of flexibility, which I find very useful in life.
I think also Interface University have a lot of benefits when modern technologies are developing so rapidly.
I appreciate the idea of NeoLiberal Arts College because you learn skills instead of traditional knowledge which I find is the right direction for the modern education. And I find Ludic University approach interesting because I think the best way of learning is when you do not notice that you are actually learning something because you are so involved in the process – this is how children learn and I like the idea that it can be maintained in further education.
But most of all I like that these different approaches are being developed because I hope they will evolve in the system that is much more corresponding to our reality and needs than the current one.
Would it be possible for you to choose one university Or do you find it difficult? Maybe our way of studying should be updated all the time and the mixture of different types is the solution? Do you agree?
DeleteIf I have to choose one, at this point I would probably choose Polymath University because others are very experimental and I think they effectiveness have to be tested yet. But it would be a huge compromise because I think the way particular subjects are thought should be changed as well.
DeleteMy point was that each of the mentioned universities has some valid ideas so the best solution would be take something from each of them and combine them into one system.
Important elements for new educational system in my opinion are:
- case studies –not only studding them but actually trying to solve real life problems - much more practical approach is needed, less theory and more “learn by doing” approach, students should have active role in learning, not just listen to the lecturer
- team working,
- diversity (of participants and disciplines)
- implanting new technologies in the process of learning
- learning skills instead of memorizing facts
- more personalized approach - involving students in the process of learning by letting them choose (to the certain level) methods and subjects they are learning.
I think one of the most important elements of new educational system should be flexibility so the future updates and adjustments to changing environment wouldn’t be so slow and painful.
No gain without pain:)I am glad you agree with me that teaching at most of univerities is still based on traditional approach-students have to memorize some material and only answer some questions without thinking.New proposals maybe not perfect taken separately form an interesting basis for mixing them up.
Delete1.Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteI think that traditional universities are are good place to learn especialy when you are lazy person. So you have to go every day to school and sometimes it can really mobilize you. I totaly agree that there are some subjects totally not worth any form of interest. There are also subjects that you can think that they are totaly worthless, but after some time you can realise that they give some much and you know how and you use this knowledge at daily basis.
2. Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
I must say that this quite hard to choose one. Bu after a while I gonna choose Polymath University. I choose this one because I think that in real world you don't solve problems in one field, usually when you solve problem you have to have knowledge in different areas not in one.
The great example is my daily work. I work as programmer in banking and insurance area so I have to have knowledge in those fields.
I like this topic so much that I can moderate this discussion for you ZC ; ) The thing is I do not believe in laziness - I think it is actually created by wrong educational system where children (who naturally are active and want to learn) mainly learn that learning is boring and how to avoid it.
DeleteIt is obvious that In the modern World you have to be open to different types of sources of knowledge :-) We can easily look for and find the information we find substantial. It is also true that schooling doesn’t Catch up with the modern World and is getting more and more boring. Students are Simply not involved In gaining information. They just have to memorize the facts.Maybe that’s why they become lazy-because they are not immersed in the process of learning-they are forced but not engaged.
Delete1. Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteI have no other choice but to ask: which one?
There are plenty of universities out there; some are doing great job at teaching specific subjects (lagging behind in others), some are notorious for bad curriculum and bad teachers.
However, it seems that what you are really asking for is whether the traditional model of higher education is good or bad. Well, this thing evolved throughout the centuries - from the master-student relationship we went to higher education degree factories that tend to mass-produce knowledge workers. At the same time employers often tend to complain that graduates do not have skills required to perform their specific jobs.
From the point of view of prospective employers, I guess traditional model of higher education isn't working. But is it true? Personally, I don't think so. The point of higher education is not to teach a student how to perform very specific job. Conversely, the point of higher education is to give a student the tools and knowledge how to and when to apply them as well as teach that person how to learn.
Some institutions are good at that, some are not. That's the way of the world and I don't really think we will ever be able to change it.
2. Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
In short: neither. I am very strange person, who finished PJATK (or PJIIT if you prefer) via Internet. I really don't need any specific form of education, I can deal with it on my own. And to be honest, I learn something new every single day. I don't think that any formal way of higher education is really required.
In this days you really have to learn all the time, or your skills will become outdated. That's a burden of information revolution and we have no choice but to live with it.
I agree with you-we should teach students where to find tools for gaining knowledge and keep them thinking: why is something happening and where it comes from and what are the results but I think it would be impossible for me to study only in front of my computer screen. I enjoy being with people. People show us who we are, and what we are like.
ReplyDeleteYour last phrase is a very interesting thought – especially if you think that usually when we are in a new environment/under high stress we act instinctively and sometimes we can be surprised by our own actions
Delete1.Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion traditional univerity is good learning place, because you can meet with teachers and students abd speak about your problem or idea
2.Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
I don't have opinion about that. I prefer traditional studies.
It's good to meet with the academics but during full-time studies it's possible only when you are not engaged in any other activities like work or bringing up children.
Deletetraditional learning is just learning by strenuous exercise manual with online learning goal is more professional, Educating, time limit, cost less, more researchable and morale of interesting etc.
ReplyDeleteOnline universities and traditional colleges that offer courses in physical classrooms have the same end goal: provide students with an educational experience that enables them to grow in their chosen field and eventually earn a degree. But although their purpose is the same, both possess significant differences in the approach they take, setting them distinctly apart.Distance learning definitely has its upside, especially for those who can’t afford the time or costs associated with attending a standard brick-and-mortar university.
Benefits of Online Learning
-No pre-defined class schedule
-No commute to campus
-Lower tuition
-Fewer fees (parking, activity, etc.)
-Ability to engage online with classmates around the country (and the world)
Disadvantages of Online Learning
-Direct contact with instructors and classmates, providing ----learning through immediate feedback
-Physical textbooks and supplemental materials that are believed to be more beneficial when consuming large amounts of content
-Student participation readily encouraged (and often accounts for a portion of the final grade)
-Potential for networking and social interaction with other classmates (some of whom you may end up working with one day)
With online education, this becomes exponentially more important. Accreditation deals with far more than just the quality and reputation of an online degree. It’s a direct indicator of how and if your college credits will transfer to other higher learning institutions and, more importantly, if employers will recognize a degree or certificate in consideration for employment. In addition, accreditation is often viewed as a crucial component when determining the transferability of credits, as well as the recognition of qualifications and conferred degrees.
There are a number of national and regional online resources that provide unbiased information on university accreditation. The most notable include:
-Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
-Western Association of Schools & Colleges
-North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
-Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
-Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
-New England Association of Schools and Colleges
However, if you’ve conducted your research and found that the university offering the program you need is not accredited, don’t give up. Not all online colleges are accredited. Many legitimate universities are either too new to be granted accreditation or they’ve chosen not to pursue it. So if the college you’re interested in is not accredited, do a little extra digging to determine whether or not the program they’re offering is legitimate.
In my opinion if you really want to learn something it doesn't matter if it is online or tradittional. But you are right-it's essential to choose a good university with accredited programs.There is a chance the curriculum is going to be interesting and enhancing.
DeleteFrom the listed proposals I would choose Nomad University. More and more people want to study, but because of the various constraints, they are not able to learn in the traditional way. Studying remotely/online using all sorts of e-learning platforms is becoming more and more popular option. They give student an ability to develop the knowledge in a controlled manner. At PJATK, recently was completed a project to build an educational platform called NOMAD, which very quickly became very popular among both academic and commercial social circles. A few years ago the University of Stanford created the e-platform called Coursera, proving that nomadic teaching is a very viable option. It quickly became very popular. Btw I have participated in several courses of Coursera, and I strongly recommend it .:)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you .
Deletethe future belongs to e-learning and to people who really want to learn and develop and not only to get the certificate.For me attendin boring classes and lectures are a waste of time.
1. Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion traditional university in Poland is in different level than traditional university in US. It’s really hard to compare these two tradition. I prefer courses and learning online more than sitting in class and listening lectures. If people are working by themselves they can manage more than by only sitting in class.
2. Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
Nomad University is more likely as online university, that’s the reason I prefer it most. I like the concept of independence study. In that environment students can explore their possibilities and manage more. They can share knowledge with others with no barriers at all.
I absolutely agree with you. The future belongs to e-learning and to people who really want to learn and develop and not only to get the certificate. For me attending boring classes and lectures are a waste of time. I hope Polish universies will take it in to consideration.
DeleteThank you for interesting text.
ReplyDelete1. Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
In my opinion if you want to learn something and you will focus on it - place does not matter. More important than place are people who are improving our skills and sharing their knowledge. Traditional university is not something bad, but does it mean that it is a good place? Hard to say, it depends, etc. are proper sentences. A lot of people are going to studies because their parents want that or their colleagues are going to studies too. First of all we have to improve process of candidate verification. Sometimes we do not know what are we doing on studies.
2. Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
My answer will be something between Pawel Dyda opinion (but the way, he confirmed 1st point of my answer partially) and the others participants of the discussion. I do not prefer Internet studying because I like to meet people, to compare solutions and exchange views in real world and have a contact with teacher. Polymath University looks fine, but I think we should learn especially in IT area, whole life. We have to be open minded on different sources of knowledge and data.
I like your answer very much, unfortunately sometimes we are forced to study by our environment. I understand you like meeting people but I think there are much better places to meet than a univerity :)
DeleteIn my opinion all up to the direction in which students are educated. There are some trends which is hard to imagine (at least for me) other than traditional learning methods, such as medicine. But there are some directions in which our educational system is not very effective, for example, even at some universities is still a huge emphasis on knowledge and not on the ability to apply, because just like Julia like the idea of Nomad University, where students have to do and to solve real problems, also I think often we learn things without knowing how it can be used. But nowadays access to the information we have unlimited, so you do not necessarily have to remember everything but it is important that when we have a problem to know how to solve it...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you entirely.It's not important to memorize something but it's essential to know where to find the information.It seems the medicine should not be taught only traditionally
DeleteIs traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteIn my honest opinion, it's easier to learn in traditional way. Why? Because, you are more motivated. If you are doing online excersises it's far easier to have an excuse to not do them and so on. Or do them inefficiently.
Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
It's hard to choose. Maybe Ludic University (or the University of Play) is a good idea, but honestly I'm not entirely sure. I still prefer traditional way over those "amazing" new ones.
I don't agree with you because in my opinion only yourown motivation gives you award. Traditional way in education encourages you to be less involved in the process of studing. I reckon traditional education is dying when everybody can use computers and the Internet for studying.
DeleteFirst of all, I would like to know why you think education in traditional university is a waste of time. I don't agree with you at all. I think that most of us had been educated in such university or school. The basis of teaching or learning (in my opinion) are always the relations between a mentor and student - if those are good and based on cooperation the process of gaining knowledge and exeperience is also good. Described here types of universities I would rather compare to teaching methods and if I had to choose one i would stand for "Ludic University" because It makes space for self-improvement for the teacher and a student, there can be made a very good relations beetwen the student and mentor - here we can apply many activating mathods of teching and learning fo both sides (teachers and students)
ReplyDeleteGenerally I agree with your opinion about ideas of study. But this is a only dream about perfect life with perfect students. Life is brutal and you perfectly know that a lot of students try to do everything to avoid hard work. We are only human and we have a lot deficiencies and laziness is natural. Traditional university with their boring curricula ecourage to cheating.
DeleteIs traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience, a traditional university is a good learning place. Attending the classes daily teaches regularity and sense of duty which is very often needed at work. Moreover seeing other students and sharing common issues makes a connections between people. Traditional university teaches the principle knowledge that is a must for further work. At the faculties I was studying there wasn't much useless subjects. Even when some of them seemed to be unnecessary, later occured that it has some sense. Maybe it was because both faculties were engineering.
In my opinion studying in a traditional university is not that bad.
Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
I like the idea of Polymath University and Ludic University, because they encourage students to be curious and creative.
I admire you that you are diligent enough to study systematically and you used to attend classes daily. I am a teacher and everyday I see a lot of people skip their classes and attend school from time to time. Unfortunatelly this is majority of students.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteReally nice article, thank you for that. To decide if traditional university is a good or bad learning place we need to focus on what we expect from higher education institution. There are many pointless subjects, that bring knowledge completely irrelevant to our future job. On the other hand, such a subjects are good If somebody wants to become a "flexible and creative interdisciplinary thinker". I prefer the traditional version of university supplemented by additional field related courses. Form listed models I prefer Nomad. It seems to be the most effective one.
ReplyDeleteMarcin you are right there are always useless subjects in all faculties. But I think we should avoid these irrelevant issues always as often as possible. In my opinion Nomad model is an interesting one.
DeleteHi, I am glad you shared this article with us since it was very interesting. In the traditional university, most subjects tend to teach a certain method of problem solving, so even when its something that you wont use in your future job, some of the methods might be relevant in many other areas. From the ones that the article highlights however I really liked them all, especially the Polymath University which tries to connect and create interdisciplinary directions. Also the Interface University seems interesting, it actually tries to turn students into cyborgs from what I understand. ;)
ReplyDeleteAccording to ideas taken from SF movies it is necessary to connect human with machines to work and learn to be more effective in the future. I think for us it is a little strange now but in some time it will happen. Besides I reckon time for universaleople is gone. In the future only narrow specialisation will be appreciated.
DeleteIs traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteYes, traditional university is a good learning place. Daily classes daily teaches regularity and makes connections between people.
Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
I like the idea of Polymath University. This kind of University encourage students to be creative.
Adam you are very optimistic about students attending classes systematically. From my exerience majority of students are lazy and unsystematic. They only think about graduating without any effort. It is sad but true. I think short and intensive courses are more effective than boring and long lectures.
DeleteI agree that many traditional universities are not bad but still could be improved. I would prefer Nomad University model with fixed physical location. I believe that creation "course" around a real specific problem and working on solve could be best way to learn useful things.
ReplyDeleteThat's true the only disadvantage is travelling around the world.
DeleteI'm not convinced by this university types, there are very specific, I would even say that they are focused on specific tasks.
ReplyDeleteAs for me university is only a places that is showing us the doors, but we need to open them. For me very important is to have a strong connection with people because we can interact, we can receive informations based on theirs experience. This is important. We can do that online, we can do that face to face, this is not important
Yes,both of these approaches are ok. I thin interaction with other people is important because we can use their experince
Delete1. Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteit’s not bad in the end. However it could use some ‘refreshment’. While it is already happening in Computer Science and technical studies - the utilisation of the latest technologies is a daily habit, for the majority of faculties it is still Industrial Age school.
2. Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
If I had to pick one, I’d vote for Polymath University.
If I could pick create a preferred one I’d combine it with The Neo-Liberal Arts College and Ludic University. As these three bring all the flavours of studying, creating entirely new university experience.
I think traditional universities need a lot of refreshments to meet the changes which modern societies face.
DeleteThat was very interesting article. Somebody would say that polish style of higher education is much more than the Nomad style but seems that sometimes it is missing a renew of the concept and the target. Anyway those ideas of schooling looks brilliant. Ludic University - it looks for me that it is more for mature people, like 3rd Generation University. Twenty years old guy might be lost in such world...
ReplyDeleteI must say Ludic University can develop the imagination not only of mature people.It can also influence younger generations. The age is not important,what matters is our willing to develop
DeleteIn my opinion traditional universities have a different goal than the new models that you presented. There are so many ways to learn new things and I don't think that standard "higher education" is the only way to do that. If you really know what you want to do when you are 19 years old, there are a lot of alternatives, such as finding a mentor and learn from him. But usually, when you are 19 years old you want to discover yourself. If you are smart, you can lear many different things in University and meet a lot of interesting people. Then you can specialize in the field that you think is right for you. That's why from my point of view universities are great places to learn. However, most of universities have really bad programs and it's difficult to learn anything.
ReplyDeleteSuggested new models are really interesting, but it's not like they don't exist in current education system. There is ERASMUS which is not only about parties ;-) In some points it's similar to Nomad model. A lot of students study different fields in the same time, for example Computer Science and Management - it's similar to Polymath model. What I really want to say is that it's possible to learn in different models in current system. It's all matter of motivation. I like Nomad and Polymath model myself ;-)
I agree with you, unfortunately I heard the new Polish government is going to close the Erasmus program. I hope it won't happen because only the exchange of experiences of people from different cultures may make science develop.

ReplyDeleteI have already answered your former post-this one is the copy of the previous one.
Delete> Is traditional university a good or bad learning place?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, traditional higher education can be the best or worst educational experience depending on the institute, lecturer etc.. Anyway it is designed for mass education hence no bubbles.
> Which of presented new university models do you prefer and why?
Seriously `None`. Because, I couldn't find the one without a description that doesn't bother me. I guess I'm going to stick with the traditional for now.
