Abstract:	In an age of globalization, it is important to consider cultural variables in the instructional design process, but as [2], [3], [7] and [16] point out, too few tools and guidelines exist to assist instructional designers in this task. Also, as pointed out by [13], professors are not always aware or even informed of the existence of cultural variables in pedagogical practices. We used a Design-based Research (DBR) iterative approach to identify cultural variables in the instructional design professional culture and we modeled knowledge regarding these variables via a formal ontology on the basis of which we created a “Cultural Diversity” knowledge base. Our “Cultural Diversity” knowledge base brings together knowledge regarding five cultures. Our advisor system, through an executable assistance process for cultural adaptation, uses this knowledge to advise the instructional designer, who then proceeds to adapt a pedagogical scenario to a culture other than his or her own. In this article, we present the executable assistance process model which enables the staging of different software agents that advise the designer, who must carry out the cultural adaptation of his or her pedagogical scenario.
