Work samples showcase your expertise and are the best way you can impress a hiring manager. Experts with engaging and well-presented work samples consistently land more interviews and win more work.
While sharing actual samples of your work (e.g. an online course you created) is recommended, we have another option if you're unable to share due to NDAs. See below for our guide to both options

PDFs of content outline maps, eLearning content, and training presentations

Add an engaging title:
Your title should be attention-grabbing but also clear about what the project is
Write an informative description:

Share success metrics or any quantifiable results
Mention specific skills used, such as video editing, content writing, eLearning development, etc.
