Some e-learning writers use several theories (or develop their own) and some don't seem to use any.
Steve Wheeler's blog post on 'Learning Theories for the Digital Age' overviews some of the newer theories that are being used and developed and argues the case for updating or at least reviewing our existing learning theories (at least as they apply to e-Learning)
Given the need for researchers to develop a sense (at least) of a knowledge paradigm and reflexivity it seems pretty essential to clarify a clear theory and a rationale for using it.
