Canvas tile refers to several distinct but related concepts:
1. Canvas Photo Tile: Wall Art
A canvas photo tile is a photograph printed onto a square piece of canvas material. This canvas is then mounted onto a lightweight backing, making it easy to hang on a wall. This offers a modern alternative to traditional framed prints, providing a fresh approach to home décor. [Source: Storyboards blog post on canvas photo tiles]
2. Ceramic Tiles with "Canvas" in their Name: Flooring and Wall Covering
Several tile manufacturers use "Canvas" in the name of their ceramic tile products. These tiles are typically made of ceramic or porcelain, and come in various sizes, colors, and finishes (matte or glossy). Examples include:

These tiles are used for both wall and floor applications, adding a stylish and often versatile element to interior design. Note that the term "canvas" in these cases refers to a texture or visual effect, not an actual canvas material.
3. Canvas Tile in the Context of Online Learning Platforms (Canvas LMS):
In the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS), a "canvas course tile" refers to a visual representation of a course on a student's dashboard. While not a physical tile, it functions similarly by providing quick access to the course. Students can't delete these tiles, but they can hide them from their dashboard.
