Microsoft Access gives you a database with application code in a
single file.  You can even have a GUI to enter data.  This is very
convenient for small applications.  However, it's best when used by a
single person at a time - it's concurrency facilities are somewhat
limited - at least that's what it was last time I checked.  It would
seem that you could cook something similar with Open Office (or Libre
Office) Base which has the advantage not to be tied into Microsoft
OS's.  If you need something that can be used by multiple users
concurrently chances are that Access is not the best choice.

What exactly does "real time" mean in your context?  I figure, human
beings need to give this system some input data before it can spit out
any new information.

What does "system" exactly mean here?  Is it a mathematical model that
you want to implement in software?  Is it a software system that you
need to improve / extend?

Good question.  It's usually a bad idea.

Clarify your requirements *first*.  Write down a list of things that
your system needs to do, e.g. things like "someone in every school in
the district needs to be able to enter course grades" or "I want to be
notified immediately if some metric X changes".  Then we can start
about thinking how such a solution might look like and finally we can
help you develop a curriculum for your training so you can build what
you want.  I do assume though that it will take you in the order of
months to arrive there if you do not have an IT background.

Kind regards
