Given your existing education and professional experience and training, how important is it for you to become an “adult educator” with a fully accredited M.Ed? What would the motivators be for you to pursue this kind of training?

How have you or do you use existing students to influence your teaching and strategies for student success?

How vital are instructors in the process of student retention and success? What specific strategies do you use that actually work to retain students?

Yes,Cleve, have you decided why this is so? I have found in my experience that the direct connection each student online provides them with the idea of individual one-to-one communication, which takes away the anxiety of larger groups. I like your extension of the learning in the blended model. I would suggest that you "work" during class and leave more self-directed learning to the online portion of the course. That will give students a feeling of using the F2F time purposefully.
