The projects are designed to create collaboration and learning through the medium of the Internet and other communications technologies. The site uses a variety of layout styles. The young people involved in the Montage projects produce many of the quality graphics adorning the site. A good navigational side bar is available at the top left of most pages. Many sections have helpful pull-down menus.
Montage is a collection of different sites and the organization of the individual sites varies.
A joint effort between partners in the United Kingdom and Australia, Montage encourages schools from around the world to participate in their projects. Through the Montage School Link Up, schools can search out a project partner school for long distance cooperative learning opportunities. The Montage projects cover a broad selection of topics and are designed to appeal to wide range of grade levels.

Teachers who sign up to participate in a project receive access to an Online Teacher's Guide and a Montage Kit.
