As for the increment of research reliability and validity, Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) method is significantly applied to approve the weight-measurement and evaluate-results. Consequently, the most valuable conclusion is that “online learning is able to passively decrease Tuition and Miscellaneous Fee Debt (TMFD) in higher education (PDTMFD)” that induces the best solution for research topic in order to re-supplies research gap in online learning relative research fields.
