机会成本 / Opportunity Cost

「释义」
机会成本是指决策过程中面临多项选择，当中被放弃而价值最高的选择，又称为“替代性成本”，就是俗语的“世界上没有免费的午餐”、鱼与熊掌不可兼得。

「应用场景」
每位学习者将从数量更加广泛、针对性更强的产品中获益，情况会比当前由学历和学位组成的生态系统更好，而且还能在分布式计算的安全环境中，以可靠的方式证明技能的获取和迁移。大家可以制定个人化的学习旅程，同时考虑到机构需要，个人发展和职业相关的需要及兴趣。

Individual learners will benefit from a larger array of more-targeted offerings than the current ecosystem of degrees and diplomas affords, with the ability to credibly signal skills acquisition and skills transfer in a secure distributed-computing environment. People will be able to map out personalized learning journeys that heed both the needs of their organizations and their own developmental and career-related needs and interests.

由于PLC能降低学习一项关键技能的边际成本和机会成本，也更容易证明技能等级，将会有更多人能负担得起并认可这种方式的价值，在职业发展中进行投资。

And as the PLC reduces the marginal and opportunity costs of learning a key skill and simultaneously makes it easier to demonstrate proficiency, far more people will find it affordable and worthwhile to invest in professional development.
