Partnering with GenAI to drive student-centred pedagogical innovation in computing education

This work-in-progress reports on the use of Generative AI (GenAI) as a reflective partner in the rapid redesign of a second-year web development module for a small computing cohort. Over several weeks, the lecturer co-developed learning materials through structured dialogue with ChatGPT, producing coherent templates, guided solutions, and narrative framing that strengthened pedagogical continuity. The findings show that conversational iteration with GenAI encouraged the educator to make tacit design choices explicit, transforming the process into a reflective dialogue that sharpened coherence and creativity in curriculum design. Sustaining that reflective quality over long, multi-session interactions remains an open challenge.
