Strengths:: This site provides users with online calculator that orthonormalizes the set of vectors using the Gram-Schmidt process. After the user executes it, this tool finds the solution and generates detailed step-by-step instructions on how the solution is found. This site offers a great help for students in a linear algebra course who want to check the answers of their homework assignments and/or projects they work on.
Concerns:: None.

Rating:
Strengths:: Both instructor and student can use this site in Introductory Linear Algebra in a lecture about the Gram-Schmidt process. Students can ask the owner of the site their questions on one of the topics in the site. There is a (lecture notes) section, but it is under construction at this time.
Concerns:: None

Rating:
Strengths:: Students and instructors can access and start using this site with ease.
