FoBi 2 - the digital form for registering for further education and training events
On 11 January 2021, the second version of the digital continuing education programme for TU Dortmund University employees went online in the ServicePortal. After exactly three years, this marks the completion of another milestone in the registration pages for the continuing education programme.
What has happened so far: In mid-2016, the Human Resources Development department submitted an application to the itmc for the development of a "Software FoBi / App of the TU". It quickly became clear that such a programme should be realised by CC Development at the itmc. At that time, it was decided to split the project into two parts:
FoBi 1
The first part of FoBi consists of the editorial system for creating the event schedule and ends in the process with the registration for the event. Here, a PDF was generated, which had to be signed and sent to the further and continuing education department via the official channels. Fobi 1 went online on 4 January 2018.

Project Duration
January 2018 - January 2021
Project Description
The second part now continues and builds on FoBi 1. The applications are no longer printed out and signed. Instead, a digital workflow starts, which is submitted in SAP to the supervisor for approval in the same way as a leave request. FoBi 2 directly generates attendance lists for the individual events. In the process, back-up lists for overbooked courses are managed. Participants can (and should, if necessary) cancel their attendance up until shortly before the event. The introduction of FoBi 2 thus simplifies the administration of further education and training courses. The sometimes rare places at sought-after dates are reserved directly at the time of registration.
From a technical point of view, the ITMC is entering new territory with FoBi 2.
FoBi 2 starts in the ServicePortal and manages the events (FoBi 1) and the attendance lists there. The approval workflow is initiated from there in SAP. The result of the workflow is then evaluated again in the ServicePortal.
Christian Brenner, head of personnel qualification, comments as follows: "The registrations in Fobi 2 are transparent and fair. The generation of certificates of completion for further education and training, attendance lists, etc. have become much easier for us. Digitalisation has made us much faster and more flexible, while also saving (paper) resources."

Location & approach
The easiest way to reach the main building of the ITMC is via the freeway A45 from the exit "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen". Turn right there onto Universitätsstraße. At the next set of traffic lights, continue straight ahead and turn left at the next junction onto Hauert Straße. At the first traffic light turn right onto Otto-Hahn-Straße. After about 300 m you will reach the ITMC building (on the left side of the street). The parking spaces on the parking lanes along the street are mostly occupied. A smaller - mostly also occupied - parking lot is located on Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße (entrance 36). A larger parking lot is located about 250 m further on Otto-Hahn-Straße (entrance 30).
From Dortmund main station, take S-Bahn line 1 in the direction of Bochum/Essen to the Dortmund Universität stop (journey time approx. 7 minutes).
From Bochum Hauptbahnhof, take S-Bahn line 1 in the direction of Dortmund to the Dortmund Universität stop (journey time approx. 15 minutes).
You can reach the building on foot in about 15 minutes from the S-Bahn station. Walk up the wide staircase of the S-Bahn station. Turn left along the university library, cross the Mensa bridge and continue straight ahead. At Martin-Schmeißer-Platz turn left until you reach Otto-Hahn-Straße. There, keep to the right and continue along Otto-Hahn-Straße until you reach house number 12.
The easiest way to reach this branch is via the A45 freeway from the "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" exit. Turn right there onto Universitätsstraße. At the next set of traffic lights, continue straight ahead and turn left at the next junction onto Hauert Straße. At the second set of traffic lights, turn right onto Emil-Figge-Straße. Continue on this street until you reach the next crossing with traffic lights. There you will find the parking spaces closest to the building. You will reach the smaller one (entrance 21) if you turn right into Vogelpothsweg. If you want to use the large parking lot (entrance 18), continue straight ahead on Emil-Figge-Straße.
From Dortmund main station, take S-Bahn line 1 in the direction of Bochum/Essen to the Dortmund Universität stop (journey time approx. 7 minutes).
