Yes, I do exist, Virginia :) I have a similar background to your own with language acquisition, instructional design, and I also studied critical pedagogy, which brings together various discourse themes such as anti-biased teaching and learning and transformational pedagogy. I like your cross reference to transformational outcomes as measurements of learning. My sense is that the fully online environment and the blended environment are perfect ones in which to develop holistic assessments - the environments themselves are self-directed and immediate. Both of these characteristics support holistic evaluation more than conventional teacher-led environments. Good discussion...
