Adult Learning Theory - sorting it out

I have been concerned that I still don't have a good handle on who does what in the adult learning theory arena. I am writing up an orientations table for my own studies. I want to get a good grounding in some of the more relevant theories that are being applied in web 2.0 educational technology. I wanted to start with the source writings of the individual theorists. But, I don't think that I am going to have the time or ability to read some of them. Bandura in particular seems very overwhelming. As such, I am going to see who has written about Bandura and see if I can get a handle on social learning theory. At this point, I'm thinking that the most applicable theories for me to look at are:
  • social learning
  • social constructivism
  • situated learning
  • experiential learning
  • functional context
